The Silver Creek & Stephenson Railroad of Freeport, IL. This volunteer operation in northern Illinois runs Heisler 2 on occasional weekends over 1.72 miles of former Milwaukee Road trackage. This Heisler was built in 1912 for Louise Lumber Co. in Charlestown, MS and later run in South Carolina and Indiana. Heisler 2 arrived in Freeport in 1982, and began operating on the SC&S in 1986. It still occasionally burns wood.
For only $100, one can operate the engine back and forth on a regular trip. This might also be one of the friendliest places we've been to.
