   Not much different from what happened to the good old EL in the east. But the reason I'm on here, is I wanted to sell some MLW fotos I purchased from a hobbyshop. I myself am a retired engineer (hired out in 1959 onthe former ERIE RR) and have been on ERIE, EL, old AUTO-TRAIN, AMTRAK and TRI-RAIL. About 25 or so years ago, I was in a hobbyshop that had a big HO layout in the rear and under the platform was a box with cobwebs on it. I saw a B&W foto and asked the owner where he got the fotos. He told me his mom was in Montana buying 'indian stuff' and bought the RR pix. I bought them from him and have had them since. These are mostly B&W prints with a few color prints here & there. Looking at them, I recognized some of Dick Steinheimer's work so I called him about it. He advised me that he'd taken them in the 60s. There were also some Asahel Curtis fotos from the Univ. of Washington collection..outstanding...like going back in time. I always liked the Milwaukee road and have the book 'MILWAUKEE ROAD IN COLOR'. By using this book, I've been able to place where some of the pix were taken (since most of them have no ID). I guess the lady had been to flea markets selling them since many of the prints have $8.00 or $12.00 on the back.     At  any rate, since I will be 70 this summer, I'm selling things I've collected off and decided that rather than going to traiinshows or E-Bay I'd notify you guys that are Milwaukee fans since that's what I've done with my Erie-Lackawanna stuff - offer it to the EL website first. Anyone interested in owning some of the fotos, please contact me at <a href="mailto:wsmith5957@hotmail.com">wsmith5957@hotmail.com</a>Regards to all,Walter E. Smith
