My Brother in law Ralph took this photo on Labor day weekend in 2006. The narrow guage Rock River Cannonball steam train, operates on the grounds of Thresherman's Park in Edgarton Wisconsin, only on Labor day weekend for the Rock River Thresher's Association reunion / Threshing bee celebration. The locomotive shown here, is a meter guage o-4-0 well tank Henshell steam locomotive from Germany. The locomotive is of an industrial design, and was cosmetically Americanized to look like a western movie locomotive.Tuesday, August 28, 2007

Is this the famous cannonball train of casey jones fame?
I'm participating in Wisconsin Historical Steam Engine Association's steam school in September, 2012 and will get the chance to play throttle jockey on the Cannonball!
