[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by dknelson Even in its declining years the Milwaukee Road mainline, at least the Chicago to Milwaukee main, looked reasonably good, often with gravel ballast. yes the jointed rail was probably a rough ride and I suspect some of the secondary lines were pretty seedy but at least some parts of the Milwaukee were decent to the end. The SOO did often replace the gravel ballast with granite. Dave Nelson [/quote] I got the notion for the Milwaukee Road as I remember seeing in a friends issiue of the MILW Historical Society magazine. (The Hiawatha?) of the mainline to Rapid City SD. the ballast and ties lost in a sea of weeds. Then the Rock had a bunch of lines the same way. James James.
