On November 14, 2021, Kris and I were invited to participate in a Trains Magazine-sponsored photo freight with Soo Line 2-8-2 Mikado No. 1003.
The trip was organized by Angela Pusztai-Pasternak and hosted by Wisconsin & Southern.
Although we only joined the trip for a few of the scheduled run-bys, we had a wonderful time and made dozens of satisfying photos.
The trip was very special for me because it was the last time I saw Jim Wrinn—late Editor of Trains Magazine.
