Recent Rail Photos - Milwaukee Outing (10 IMG)

Hey Gang,

Haven’t been around too much lately, but I have a slew of railroad images to upload, so I’ll try to get a subject up every day or two. Here’s a set of images from my daytrip up to Milwaukee while I was back in Chicago.

First up is a shot of Amtrak No. 7 departing the Milwaukee Station:

Next up is a series of Canadian Pacific Train No. 277 with a matched set of 5, count 'em 5, blue and gold SD40-2’s.

Take a good look at those stacks, too. They’re not long for this world (if they’re not gone already).

Very nice, Chris. It’s not easy easy to make that part of Milwaukee look so good.

I agree with Jim…great shots!

That 277 must have taken a while to get out of town. That pace shot is fantastic!

Thanks, Z!

Carl - They had to drop off the stacks and a few other things when they got into the yard. That took a little while to do which is why the first shots are under good sunlight and the later ones are all blue hour shots. I’m curious if they get out of the yard quicker now that they don’t have the stack traffic to drop off…
