Nostalgia & History > Soo Line Caboose at N Freedom, WI

Soo Line caboose 99085 looks great at Mid-Continent Railway Museum at North Freedom, Wisconsin, 14 September 2019. Wisconsin Central #99085 was among the last lot of cabooses ordered by the WC while it was still an independent railroad. This caboose was originally numbered WC #191 when built by Haskell & Barker and delivered to the WC in January 1909. On April 1, 1909, the WC was leased to the MStP&SSteM (Soo Line) for 999 years. On December 13, 1911, the caboose was renumbered to SOO #99085.

Soo Line caboose 99085 was privately acquired from the Soo Line and moved to Mid-Continent in May 1967. The caboose is presently restored to its mid 1950’s paint and lettering appearance and on public display across from the North Freedom depot. The caboose was purchased by Mid-Continent from its private owner in February 2014.

Looks mighty nice. Clear day, mighty nice for roof detail.

That’s a good view of the equipment.

Not being a drone person....What type of camera is used?  Is the camera an add-on or part of the drone?
Has anyone figured out what alltitude to photograph from to make it look HO scale?
