MILW 2-D-D-2 #E-1 - Milwaukee Road  Contributor's Pick!       
Here is another view of the first of the famous 1919 GE built five bi-polars used by the Milwaukee Road in their western electrification porject. The unit originally carried the number 10250 but was renumbered in 1939. Later it was unsuccesfully rebuilt by the Milwaukee Road shops in 1953. Eventually four of the five were scrapped in 1962. Only E-2 survives at the Museum of Transportation in St Louis, MO. E.J. Roberts photo credit.

Tom Beckett General Cool stuff. Much of the lines they ran on are now empty trails across the high plains and forests of the northwest. It was an impressive operation. 7/5/2016 3:29:00 AM
