When The Milwaukee Isn't THAT Milwaukee

My photo.

September 12, 2024

Photo from today of the inspection pit of the single stall locomotive shop at the former Larson Air Force Base outside of Moses Lake, WA. When the former government railroad to the base from Moses Lake proper was sold to the Milwaukee Road, the land adjacent to the right-of-way, including this old shop, was sold to the Milwaukee Land Co. 

This structure was torn down in 1971, at the time of the sale, and wasn't used by the Milwaukee.
