SOO 1003
Title:  SOO 1003
Description:  A pleasant surprise on a fall Sunday morning was spotting this excursion on the former Milwaukee Road line connecting Cambria and Horicon. The train was pulling 11 freight cars and a caboose. From what I saw on social media on the internet later this day, the excursion was paid for by a private group with a main focus on photo opportunities and and recording the sound for a sound decoder company.

SOO 1003
Title:  SOO 1003
Description:  A look across a harvested cornfield just east of Randolph at a steam excursion, pulling only freight cars and a caboose. Information gathered via social media found this to be an excursion to record sound for a sound decoder and photo opportunities for those who helped cover the costs of the excursion. Some of us were just lucky enough to be driving around looking for trains on this day.

SOO 1003
Title:  SOO 1003
Description:  SOO 1003 leads an eleven car and a caboose freight along former Milwaukeer Road (now WSOR) rails east of Randolph. The train will soon be crossing Beaver Dam Lake, which would have been a great spot to catch the train crossing the lake on a bridge if one had known ahead of time. One would need to know land owners or use a boat to get the shots, but they could have been awesome.
