I wonder if it's on the maiden run as it looks brand new. No doubt the MILW advertising department would have wanted everyone to know about their new equipment so it probably drew a good crowd.

Thanks for sharing.

Anybody know where either picture was taken?

The second photo was taken in Milwaukee near the Milwaukee Road depot.

The position light dwarf signal, curved street crossing and stubby interlocking tower in the
background all make picture 1 look like Canal St. crossing on the north side of C.U.S.
