Soo Line 2719 was a restored 4-6-2 steam locomotive originally operated by the Minneapolis St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie Railway (“Soo Line”). The 2719 was used to haul the Soo Line’s last steam-powered train a June 21 1959 round-trip excursion between Minneapolis Minnesota and Ladysmith Wisconsin. It operated excursions on the North Shore Scenic Railroad between Duluth MN and Two Harbors MN from 2007 until 2013 when its boiler certificate expired (2719 was restored in 1998).
