Good Morning Cap’n Tom!
I see the protocol these times has it down to perhaps one photo per submission. That does make a great deal of sense to me in light of the participation from “outside.”
Just left the bar and wanted to make an appearance here, where at one time I tried to do so on a daily basis. Times and circumstances change, sorry to say.
A contribution to keeping this fine thread running:
BK in Alberta, Canada’s beautiful high mountain country!
Ahoy Cap’n Tom!
And another . . .
Until the next time! [tup]
Lars 
G-day guys and those visiting!
Well, it’s still going and I’m joining in with the fun. So here goes.
Another Milwaukee Road shot for you all. F7 #97A, Bensenville, IL, Oct 28, 1974 Kodachrome
And yet another Milwaukee road shot. These are F9s leading there train around a corner somewhere in Illinois. Note the classic maroon, orange, and black paint of the Milwaukee Road.
A nice shot indeed.
That’s all for now.

Some classic CNR passenger power.
A 5 axle FM C-Liner in CNR’s classic super Continental passenger scheme.
It’s lost it’s more attractive Super Continental passenger livery in place of passenger zebra stripes, but this MLW FPA4 is still a winnah [tup]
Rob
G’day!

G-day Tom and all present.
How about a few more pics to keep this place a rollin!! 2000 posts. That’s pretty good[tup]
Here is a couple of Milwaukee Road E7As on the end of a passenger train. Pretty much all of the Milwaukee’s maroon, orange and black passenger scheme has disappeared and been painted in the 1955 UP colors.
March 1970, Kodachrome
Here’s a Milwaukee Road Skytop Parlor car. Again this is after 1955 so the paint is in the UP colors. These were used on the Twin Cities afternoon Hiawatha a lot, so more than likely this is located in Wisconsin somewhere. Note the steam line hooked up to the back of the Parlor car. Got to keep the cars warm/ cool!
Happy railroading[(-D]
James
