Nice to see pictures of Milwaukee road freight trains.

Thank you for the compliment. I got a lot of cab rides when I was a kid from MILW crews. Those cab rides led to a 41-year career in the railroad industry! RR

Thanks for the shout out to the Chicago North Shore & Milwaukee

We were very happy to get access to Ray's footage. There is a fair amount of North Shore video out there, but precious little of the Mundelein branch. RR

I had no idea or at least didn't pay attention that the Amtrak GP40tc actually worked Chicago to Milwaukee...that engine was cool but a kitbash nightmare....a SDP40, a GP38-2 and a new underframes made from K&S brass ....I made one for a BN engineer on commuter....I think it was Corky can't remember his last name....but seeing some of your footage makes me wanna model a Milwaukee sprint ...

Those Metra cars always looked so top heavy going through the turnouts

@EastEndProductionsArchiv-lm3lq 9 месяцев назад

Indeed they were! I'd go back to those days in a heartbeat. RR

I believe that Marlon Brando grew up near here.

I was a brakeman for the Milwaukee Road from 1966 until they went bankrupt in 1969, working freight & passenger. Do you have any info on the Fox Lake commuter trains? I worked those round trip from Fox Lake to Chicago but we didn’t have “Metra” cars. If I remember correctly, we usually had four cars and engine. Absolutely love the Milwaukee road.
