Milwaukee's Roads
Posted by METRO on Friday, May 14, 2004 2:15 AM
I blew into my old hometown of Milwaukee the other day and I gotta say it's really nice to see a city still have more than just two lines in it!

I did some photos up on Mayfair road where the UP crosses over the CP, I remember seeing the old CNW FM switchers on that line when I went to track meets.

I also went down to the Third Ward to see some friends at MIAD and saw a UP switcher come across the OLD Milwaukee River bridge, I didn't think they used that anymore.

The Amtrak station has seen better days, but I really don't think I've ever seen Amtrak stock so... shiney.

My last stop was to see the old Beer City line on the East Side, lol nice bike trail.

Well anyways nice to see that Milwaukee is still a good railroad town, and that Walthers still has everything under the sun in stock.

Take Care & I'll see ya at Summerfest!
