Nostalgia & History > Very clean SOO SD40's on Ford Freight!Date: 04/21/14 01:05 Very clean SOO SD40's on Ford Freight! Author: mp51w Shot at Brookfield, WI in April of 1986. 203 was usually an afternoon train loaded with giant boxcars of auto parts, frames, and auto racks. Still used the Milwaukee Rd. train number, but obviously after Soo Line takeover.

Also in picture #1, you can see a couple of hoppers parked on the Waukesha branch. That's the original mainline to Madison via Whitewater. I believe it's still railbanked to Waukesha.
