Soo Line 1003: The Dairyland Fast Freight (4K)

Like us on Facebook! pages/Blue-C...
Wisconsin is known for its history of dairy production, the Green Bay Packers, and being generally less boring than many of the Midwestern states (I’m looking at you, Kansas). Wisconsin is also home to Minneapolis, St. Paul & Saulte Ste. Marie Railroad (Soo Line) L-1 Class 2-8-2 “Mikado” #1003, built in 1913 by the American Locomotive Company. The 1003 is currently the only operating example of Soo Line mainline steam in operation, based in Hartford, Wisconsin along the ex-Milwaukee Road tracks of the Wisconsin & Southern Railroad. The engine is kept in immaculate condition under ownership of the Steam Locomotive Heritage Association, and while it doesn’t operate often in public, the group makes sure to impress the many trackside fans every time. This video focuses on the 2022 Trains Magazine Soo Line 1003 charter, which operated between Randolph and Horicon, Wisconsin and featured many trackside runbys with a freight consist. Now, please enjoy this exciting video brought to you by Blue Comet Productions!

    That's quite the Buick they had there. Also, I bet that takeoff at 4:30 had to have been loud in person.😂 Great Video!

    Thank you for so many clips without the whistle. The sound of the locomotive itself is a joy to behold.

    That whistle sounds like the one which was on the MILW 261. I'd read that they switched whistles on the 261 recently; is this the one?
