Switching moves in Hartford, WI. In a steady light rain, SOO 1003 performs switching moves near an industrial complex just west of Hartford, WI. Each time the locomotive began to move, the crew left the cylinder cocks open for extended periods of time, creating huge steam clouds that often completely enveloped the locomotive. In this scene, SOO 1003, a 1913 Alco Mikado, is in the process of making up a photo freight for Historic Transport Preservation (HTP). HTP is a non-profit group that organizes historic railroad charters.
