Is that a one off boxcar just for display/events or is there a small fleet of these babies roaming the rails?

This Wisconsin & Southern company website features the Santa Train on the homepage. It's nice to see freight railroads embracing steam. Back when the Wisconsin Central went to CN, I was afraid the 1003 would be stuck with nowhere to go.
