Quite an empire. For those of us in the Midwest, it has been the best show around. Throw in Silvis this year and it can only get more interesting.

I even see the car we rode on, the former MILW biz car Montana.

Nice stuff. However, I think your #1 photo is at Highlands Station, with the big stack from the Hinsdale Hospital in the background, plus the old Oak Street bridge visible behind the signal bridge. Date: 06/23/22 19:20 Re: Milwaukee Road 261 memories - Part 2 Author: New773 redberan4449 Wrote:
