Chicago and North Western 1385 running between Mazomanie and Sauk City October 1989. Short clip at the end is engine renumbered Lackawanna 1053 at LARUE.
Incredible footage! The tracks it ran from Mazomanie to Sauk City along Highway 78, are borderline out of service, used for storage nowadays. The tracks into Sauk City have been all removed and paved into a bike trail. To see 1385 in operation toward and into Sauk City is absolutely incredible! Jim, would you happen to have pictures from the Mazomanie, Sauk City, Prairie Du Sac area???
Ah, the Lackawanna engine that no one remembers. Yet if you asked anyone who's a frequent visitor to Steamtown in Scranton, they'd recognize 1053. She's in almost every movie in that museum.
