WC 104 |
| Description: |
WC 104 caboose on display at Smith Park, Menasha, WI on 24 Apr. '15. Built by Haskell & Barker Car Co. and delivered to the WC in Jan. '09. Numbered SOO 99079 while on their roster but restored as WC 104 when it was presented to the Menasha Historical Society by Leonard Murray, president of SOO, in Jul. '71, during 100th anniversary celebration of founding of WC at Menasha. The protective shelter, designed to mimic a SOO depot, was donated by George Banta, Jr., a Menasha industrialist and railfan. The dedication ceremony was held on 18 Jun. '72. The caboose received a recent facelift and will be rededicated on 16 May '15, hopefully it will be open for tours. The shelter originally had station signs with SOO logos on both ends, but those signs have disappeared. A nice plaque was also part of the original display, but has also disappeared. |

The protective shelter, designed to mimic a Soo Line depot, was donated by George Banta, Jr., a Menasha industrialist and railfan. The dedication ceremony was held on 18 Jun. '72. The caboose received a recent facelift and was rededicated during an appropriate ceremony earlier today. The shelter originally had station signs with SOO logos on both ends, but those signs have disappeared. A nice plaque was also part of the original display, but has also disappeared. |
