Old Soo Line equipment. Unknown location south of Beaver Dam Wisconsin. September 2002.

 

I was returning home from a business trip with a former place

of employment I had worked with, doing marketing work.

 

I had spotted this old line up of stripped former Soo Line

locomotives and old box cars waiting either scrapping

or possible rebuilding near an old wooden train station.

 

Can anyone identify what town or location this was?
