Based in Hartford, Wisconsin, Soo Line 1003 operates on selective occasions. On the weekend of November 12-13, 2022, the locomotive was steamed up to make an appearance on the Hartford Santa Train and then a Trains Magazine photo charter the following day. 1003 shatters the otherwise quiet atmosphere of the Wisconsin farmlands with its thunderous bark as it hustles a fast-moving freight train along Wisconsin & Southern rails.
Since being restored to operation in 1996, 1003 has operated at several different railroads in Wisconsin and has made special runs to Chicago. It is one of few steam engines that can almost always be seen pulling a freight train whenever it runs.")

Today, the repainted PRR 331 puts on a good show on the Civil War era train. Departing Ironstone Station, passing Belmont Station and Herrs Mill Covered Bridge, and stopping at the Engine House. Here, passengers get to check out the Lincoln Funeral Car replica, built to original 1865 appearance by Kloke in 2015. The car sits on display, while three new built coaches see regular use.")
