The Wisconsin Central Packer Game excursion train (1995 I "think" it was). <br />It was drawn by a GP40 which I caught in DePere, Wis. while I was up <br />visiting friends in that berg. I had no idea the train would be in the area or <br />that the WC even operated such excursions. It was northbound on the <br />former Soo ROW on that Sunday morning and I got to crossing in just <br />enough time to see the headlights well down the tracks (I'd gone out just <br />to see if anything was rolling with little expectation of success). A GP40, <br />the WC business car (parlor car I believe) and the Green Bay & Western's <br />dome/observation car "Prairie Rose". Perfect light conditions, great <br />position and perspective, and the train was moving slow enough to make <br />a great shot. <br /> <br />Packers 35 Bears 28 <-- in-case any Packer fans know the year.
