Here's a question regarding the Milwaukee's electric operation. Did Milwaukee's management ever consider upgrading the electric operations in the 1950's or even in the 1960's with more powerful electric locomotives (maybe a DC powered version of the E44 if that could be done) and a more efficient power distribution system? Say switching from direct current to alternating current? The later probably isn't feasible owing to cost of conversion versus using the exsisting infrastructure, but I had to ask! <br /> <br />With the Milwaukee's purchase of the Little Joe electrics sort of breathing new life into the aging electrification in the 1950's, did the management figure that purchasing a dozen new electric locomotives was "good enough" for the operation since they also had to find money to dieselize?
