I'm such a slow typer, that I'd be late for work, if I did this much typing in the morning.[:)] <br /> <br /> February 28th: Nothing, really, that I could find. <br /> <br /> February 29th: <br /> <br /> 1948: ATSF begins daily <i>Super Chief</i> <br /> <br /> 1980: Milwaukee Road ends revenue service west of Miles City, Montana. <br /> <br /> 1988: Illinois Central Gulf Railroad morphs back into Illinois Central. (Over the years, railroads must have spent fortunes on paint and stationary!) <br /> <br /> February in general: <br /> <br /> 1953:UP opens Sherman Hill line relocation. <br /> <br /> 1959: EMD introduced the first "second generation" diesel, the SD 24. (I bet at the time they didn't call it the "second generation") <br /> <br /> 1967: Illinois Central replaced their diamond logo with their split-rail logo. (There's that paint and stationary issue again). <br /> <br />Anyone else? <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />MIlwaukee Road ended service west of MIles City on March 15th
