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.

The locomotive remained in Frame Park 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 resides.
