Welcome to our photo gallery of Soo Line Steam Locomotive #2719.  The 2719 has made annual trips to the Wisconsin Great Northern Railroad between 2000 and 2002.  Each year the locomotive operated 4-5 weekends. Click on the photos below for a large version of the photo.  Most of these photos were taken on September 10, 2001, during a photo special that brought in photographers from throughout the United States and Canada.
