Membership Chairman
• To join the SLHTS or renew your membership.
• Any questions about your membership status.
• Where's my magazine? Members' magazines begin to arrive around the first of March, June, September and December. If your magazine doesn’t arrive by mid-March, June, September, or December, contact the membership chairman. If the problem is in the mailing list, which he manages, he can then fix whatever went awry. Please note that the Post Office does not guarantee delivery within any time frame, and bulk-rate magazines can sit for weeks until an office has time to process it.
• If your magazine arrived damaged, again, contact the membership chairman for a replacement.

Questions about the Soo Line or SLHTS?

What does "SOO" stand for?
It isn't an acronym such as ATSF or SP, but rather is a phoenetic spelling of "Sault," for Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, the original eastern terminus of the Minneapolis, Sault Ste. Marie & Atlantic Railway line eastward from Minneapolis. Since "the Soo Line" is a nickname like "the Hoosier Line" or "Katy," only the "S" should be capitalized. That is, it's "Soo Line," never "SOO Line."

How are Soo Line locomotives and freight cars painted?
