2 -- Note the MI reporting mark. I think that meant Missouri-Illinois, an old part of the Missouri Pacific Lines. Omaha, 1983. 3 -- At Havelock shops in Lincoln for repairs, 1985.

MILW 4052 - 60' Pullman Standard boxcar. This series is not in the Milwaukee Color guide. It shows up in the 1972 ORER as an XL class car with specially equipped interior not suitable for regular service. I can't tell for sure from your photo but it looks like it has been reclassed as XM which would be a general service boxcar. MI 707061 - looks like a PS2 3510 CF covered hopper from Pullman Standard. M.I. is indeed the Missouri-Illinois Railroad Company. The NP car looks like a Pullman Standard-built 4740 CF PS2 covered hopper.

It's a PS2-CD 4427, predecessor to NP's 4740s. steeplecab Montana |
