Special Trains and Excursion Information 

I will try and keep this page updated with information about Steam Excursions and Special Trains that may be running in the Wisconsin area and elsewhere if I find out about them.  WARNING: These excursions can be cancelled or have schedules adjusted at anytime prior to the trip. I am not responsible for last minute changes to a schedule or motive power used to pull a train. 

Also railfan responsibly.  Don't trespass on RR property.  Also be aware of others around you when you taking pictures, I doubt that anyone else wants you in their pictures.  SO BE CAREFUL !!! and HAVE FUN !!!
