Same car as above. Interesting to still see this as the car lesser.

Gallitan Gateway Inn just South of Bozeman, Montana. The Milwaukee Road had their own entrance to Yellowstone Park. This was on the front of the Hotel.

Sage Creek Trestle. Located on the Milwaukee Roads line from Harlowtown to Great Falls, now operated by the Central Montana RR. My son and I participated in a 2 day motorcar ride over this line with P.R.O. There were 9 cars that participated. This was a great ride to be on. This was one of 4 such bridges and a tunnel that seemed to be just as long.

Roger, I saw that very same car in Proviso on May 16. WHCX is the Western Hay Corporation; they apparently got 16 of these cars (six ex-MILW, ten from somwehere else--maybe CP?). This particular car was previously MILW 4802, based on the ACI label I "scanned".

They may not be as fresh, but sometimes leftovers just taste better than the freshest stuff.
