1974 Night In Othello

Photos by Jonathan Fischer.

September 1974

Jonathan says:

" An interesting cross section of Milwaukee Road power was noted in the absolute middle of the night in September, 1974.

First noted, long distance locomotives MILW 3001 & MILW 3004, resting peacefully.

Next is the local/yard power: MILW 350, uniquely MILW in configuration.

Finally, Coast power, with MILW 6006 on the east end."
