I'm interested in the MILW operations in Wisconsin, particularly in the areas of Oshkosh, Ripon, Horicon, Markesan, and down towards Madison and Janesville. Might anyone know of a book (with lots of photos) that covers that general area of MILW operations? I know there must be several different books on the subject.
Any ideas are welcome...
Description:Milwaukee Road In Color, Volume 2: City of Milwaukee: "A 128-page hardcover book of all-color photographs taken entirely in the namesake city of the Milwaukee Road. This book contains the most impressive color array of steam and first generation diesels ever contained in a Milwaukee book. The intriguing saga of the Milwaukee is encapsulated in this colorful look at the road from the 1940s to its demise."

I tried to sell my two cents worth, but no one would give me a plug nickel for it.
I don't have a leg to stand on.
Your better bet might be back issues of the Milwaukee Road historical society magazine
