Regarding the Soo Line 1003, she is scheduled to make a visit to our nearby city of Plymouth later next week.
I did a little scouting in town yesterday with the idea of getting some night images. Her route to and from Plymouth is
just over a mile west of us on the road that we live on, an old Milwaukee branch.
Good wishes to everybody.
