What a great picture! It brings back fond memories of the GM&O passenger fleet. I have witnessed these venerable "OLD F UNITS" on the point of a few AMTRAK trains which were experiencing mechanical failure.

Thanks for sharing Gerry, I really like the Milwaukee Road shots.
That gut in the yellow hardhat in the second shot of the derailed MP15AC sure looks like my friend's late grandfather who worked out of the yard.
