Soo Line 1003 Christmas Train
On
November 10 2007, the SOO Line 1003, A 1913 vintage 2-8-2 (Mikado)
Steam Locomotive preserved and operated by 1003 Operations LLP,
(http://www.sooline1003.com/)
and running on Wisconsin
Southern Track, came through Ripon Wisconsin. With a little
research we found where they were coming from that early, frosty
morning and got many of these pictures from that spot. In fact, after
getting within 5 miles or so of the engine, it was pretty evident
where is was parked as the warm steam and smoke slowly wafted into
the crisp, pale blue sky. It was a pretty neat morning for us. Click
