The Lumberjack Steam Train is a passenger excursion train operated on the Laona and Northern Railway, a heritage railroad located in Laona, Wisconsin and part of the Camp 5 Museum. It is operated by the non-profit Camp 5 Museum Foundation, Inc. The train runs from the outskirts of Laona to the museum site. The train is hauled by a 2-6-2 steam locomotive that was built in 1916 by the Vulcan Iron Works in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Purchased September 22, 1926, it was brought to Laona for use in the forest industry. The train consists of the steam locomotive, two steel passenger coaches, and three cabooses. The American Car and Foundry Company built the coach named the “Hamilton Roddis” in 1923 for the Soo Line Railroad. The Barney and Smith Company built the coach named the “Otter Creek” in 1911, also for the Soo Line Railroad. It was rebuilt in 1941.〔 Two cabooses have cupolas and offer “up in the trees” views of the passing forest. These 18 passenger cabooses were purchased in 1965 and 1966 from the Duluth, Missabe and Iron Range Railway. The third caboose is Soo Line Railroad caboose number 147.〔 ==See also== *List of heritage railroads in the United States 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lumberjack Steam Train」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
