  • OBJECT HISTORY PROPOSAL – WISCONSIN 101 Soo Line 1003
    OBJECT HISTORY PROPOSAL – WISCONSIN 101 Soo Line 1003 Soo Line #1003 is a 2-8-2 Mikado engine built in March of 1913 by the American Locomotive Company in Schenectady, New York. The name Mikado comes from the Emperor of Japan at the time. Soo Line #1003 is one of ten class L-1 2-8-2 Mikados, numbering from 1001-1010, built for the Minneapolis, St. Paul, and Sault Ste. Marie Railroad, also known as the Soo Line Railroad, to haul freight trains. The locomotive cost $25,654.63 back in 1913. She measures 82 feet and 6 inches long, has 63” driving wheels in the front, her total weight is 246.5 tons, carries 17 1/2 tons of coal and 5 tons of water in her tender. Soo Line #1003 officially retired in 1959 and was donated to Superior, Wisconsin where she was placed on display at a park. Soo Line #1003 worked on the Soo Line hauling freight until 1954 when she was taken out of operation and placed as a standby engine at the Gladstone, Michigan roundhouse. The engine sat until the 1990’s when 1003 Operations LLP bought it from the City of Superior and began restoration to operational condition. The #1003 returned to operation in 1996 doing break-in runs in Minnesota. Today, the engine is owned, operated, and maintained by the Steam Locomotive Heritage Association. Currently on display at the Wisconsin Automotive Museum at Hartford, Wisconsin, Soo Line #1003 can be seen operating photo charters and trips with Santa Claus. Soo Line #1003 is an example of Wisconsin’s railroad history.
