Steam & Excursion > Heisler #2 over the Yellow River 8/4/13

As part of Freeport's Threshing Show weekend, the Silver Creek and Stephenson Railroad operated their 1912 Heisler #2 for their regular 3.4 mile round trip on the former Milwaukee Road. We're set up along the Yellow River as the #2 pulls the train back to the Silver Creek Museum.

For those who're interested, the railroad will have the #2 steamed up for their throttle time and photographer's special for the Labor Day weekend.

I grew up in Freeport. Hard to believe the MILW was a 70 mph railroad thru here at one time with the Southwest Arrow carrying thru sleeping cars between Milwaukee and Kansas City.

gI've ot to get back to see this someday.

Nice clip . . . I'm a big fan of hearing the train approaching before you see it come into the frame . . . builds the anticipation . . . well done.
