Soo #1003 Photographers Special Nov 2008

On November 9, 2008 the Soo Line #1003 ran a photographers special on the Wisconsin & Southern RR from Waukesha to Janesville, WI.  Unfortunately the weather wasn't perfect but the #1003 crew and locomotive put on a great show for the photographers present.  The trip was organized by Historic Transportation Preservation HTP Inc.  The Southern Division of WSOR has some neat spots including wig-wags at Lima Center. 

Here are some photos from the day;

At Williams, WI #1003 passes a grain elevator and ballast tamper

Passing an old Purina Feed Mill at Palmyra, WI

Working wig-wag at Lima Center, WI

That is a sample of some of the photos taken during the photo special
