Milwaukee Road paper from the files
Author: mp51w

A couple of Milwaukee Rd. freight bills.
I accidentally posted these on the passenger train discussion page this morning.
AlsoiIncluding an added bonus form 251 engineer's report of livestock killed or injured.
I got a chuckle out of some of the entries on that form.

I like the Stock report..."Give Reason why you or Firman did not see stock sooner" That's just hilarious... that's akin to saying "well, you did the best you could, be we expected you to do better..."

Thanks for sharing these--I like seeing all the details involved in the day-to-day of railroading the old way...

It's crazy the stuff you save as a railfan, especially when you are younger and think you have room and space for everything!
After 20 years or more, you realize, you may be the only one that has a paper record of what was going on with the railroad then.
