Switching local industries with SOO 1003?
Title:  Switching local industries with SOO 1003?
Description:  Not exactly, but they disappeared back into the industrial sidings on the west edge of Hartford for about half an hour, presumably to take on coal. The locomotive actually did make a short freight run out of Horicon on the next day, but I didn't get confirmation on it in time to make it up there.
