It will always be The Milwaukee to me. Patched Soo Line SD40-2 #133 shows its' obvious Milwaukee Road heritage as it brings a train thru La Crescent, MN in July of 1987. Hard to believe this was over 30 years ago and that the MILW has been under different ownership for over half my life.......
The EMD SD (special duty) series are a strong and reliable kind of locomotive which still serve America's rails today. They have proved themselves reliable by clocking in several million miles of freight service over several decades.
