Viewing Album: Milwaukee Road In Iowa: The Declining Years
By:
Stu Nicholson
Dates:
8/21/2013 - 8/21/2013
Album Info:
Got to see some of the last years of the Milwaukee Road's service through Eastern and South Central Iowa during the late 70's and early 80's. Kind of a sad thing to watch a once great road go into decline.

Milwaukee Road Caboose sidelined and white-lined.
Description:
Marked by the dreaded white-line and destined for the scrapper. I wonder if anyone rescued this classic.

Set aside as bad-order cars to later be hauled away for scrap, this Milwaukee Road rolling stock was left on a siding that used to lead to Ottumwa Airport.
