[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by MichaelSol [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by futuremodal but wouldn't then the Milwaukee have suffered the same constraints as GN per the Cascade and Flathead tunnels' trains per day limitations? [/quote] Milwaukee had electrics. Best regards, Michael Sol [/quote] "Had" being the operative word. I take it then this project was proposed pre-1970's before the wires came down. The question then is would the Milwaukee have been more disposed to keep electric operation with this tunnel, or would they still have gone all diesel (and then the subsequent operational constraints as experienced by GN/BN/BNSF)? Since they would have had 20 some years to observe the subsequent problems GN/BN had when they took down the wires in the 1950's, perhaps this new tunnel might have played a role in convincing Milwaukee officials to keep the wires juiced.
