I grew up about half way between the Milwaukee Road and CNW mainlines in southern MIlwaukee County. we used to walk along the tracks (I know that's trespassing) and would sometimes get to the Milwaukee Road Lake Tower. There is a small yard there (not used much now, but inthe early 70's it was still switched). The people there were always nice to us. ONce a brakeman let me couple the air hoses to a couple of boxcars! That was thirty years ago, and I still remember that day. <br /> <br />Sorry, I got off topic there. So I model the Milwaukee Road. Always have. I read a a youngster about the Milwauikee Road and learned they had tracks in a faraway place called Montana. Read all I could (and still do) about lines west. So my current layout (although rather generic) is based on the central Montana area. I finally got a chance to go to Montana a couple years ago and now my wife and I want to retire there.
