 The third photo with the 94A is my favorite. The weed-covered roadbed and the lean of the locomotives is unique!

Thanks for sharing these views of the Milwaukee in Iowa. Didn't know they had such a modern looking depot in Dubuque. I suppose it's under the US151 expressway now. Hardly a trace of the MILW in Martelle.

All very nice, yet that shot from Martelle really grabs me.  I watched a lot of trains from there in the early seventies.  So sad that's it's no longer around, but thanks for bringing back good memories from there.

Great trio!
