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?

Scenes like this were common on the southside of Chicago,
during the 1970's, in to the mid 1980's on the ICG.
