Fox Lake, IL to Milton, WI - Sept 2001
On September 23, 2001 Soo #1003 was scheduled to run an excursion from Fox Lake, IL to Milton, WI and return. However with the tragic events of September 11, 2001 the excursion was in doubt. However it was felt that to return to a feeling of security and normalcy the excursion would run. However the #1003 was adorned with several American flags to show support and patriotism.
Unfortunately most of this trip the weather was cloudy, rainy and miserable.
All of the above photos were taken at Milton, WI. In and around the depot and the wye tracks at Milton Junction.
Actual Size of photo file is 640x480 pixels. Of course photos on the CD will not have the "Steam Trains and Tractors" watermark printed across them. NOTE - Photos of this size should make nice 4" x 6" prints, however anything larger may become grainy
