Soo Line 2645 is a 4-6-0 "Ten Wheeler" type steam locomotive. It was built in 1900 by Brooks Locomotive Works for the Wisconsin Central as #247. The locomotive spent its entire career in Wisconsin. Often it was stationed in Manitowoc, Fond du Lac, and Neenah.[1]
The locomotive remained in Frame Park[where?] until 1972 when it was moved to the ex-C&NW station, which is now a restaurant. On September 20, 1988, the Waukesha City Council donated #2645 to Mid-Continent Railway Museum, where it currently[when?] resides.
