SOO 75293
Title:  SOO 75293
Description:  Once a common sight to those of us who live along the former Soo Line R.o.W. before they purchased the Milwaukee Road lines through Wisconsin, spotting an old "shock of wheat" hopper is like seeing an old friend. This car is spotted at Country Visions/Country Horizons Co-op at Rockwood. The Co-op is the last customer north of Manitowoc heading north on CNW's Shore;line Subdivision. From Rockwood the R.o.W. is a recreation trail to Denamark, I believe.

Title:  MOCX 481051, SOO 75293, MOCX 412270
Description:  A well-weathered SOO wheat stalk covered hopper was one of three spotted at Country Visions Cooperative's Rockwood Fertilizer Plant at Rockwood, WI on 16 Apr. '15. The facility is serviced by CN via former C&NW rails. Unfortunately the active rails terminate here and the rest of the old main line from here to Denmark is now the Devil's River State Trail.
