Description: This E-25-S 4-6-0 steam locomotive was built in 1900 by Brooks Locomotive Works for use as a freight engine by the Wisconsin Central Railway. In 1909, it became a Soo Line engine. The locomotive was retired in the 1950s. It is now part of the Mid-Continent Railway Museum collection in the town of North Freedom, Wisconsin. The railroad ballast on the ground is crushed Baraboo Quartzite, which is ~1.7 billion years old (Paleoproterozoic). It comes from a nearby quarry in the Baraboo Ranges of southern Wisconsin.
