Switching local industries with SOO 1003?
Title:  Switching local industries with SOO 1003?
Description:  Not exactly, but they disappeared back into the industrial sidings on the west edge of Hartford for about half an hour, presumably to take on coal. The locomotive actually did make a short freight run out of Horicon on the next day, but I didn't get confirmation on it in time to make it up there.

WATCo's WSOR - Not too shabby!
Title:  WATCo's WSOR - Not too shabby!
Description:  Although changes away from the Gardner era continue as WATCo accelerates its relettering and renumbering of the WSOR roster into its own (3869 and 3871 were 3810 and 3812, respectively), the red and gray still reigns supreme. 3871 was even given a modified version of the scheme in place of its ratty old NdM blue when it was renumbered.

Call of the wild goose
Title:  Call of the wild goose
Description:  Apart from being one of only two units in the "updated" WSOR scheme with one fat gray chevron in place of the narrow ones on the short hood, I really wanted to catch 3871 leading because it is one of only two or three units left on the railroad with a well-tuned Leslie RS3L horn.
