You wanna cry about something? The entire MIlwaukee Road shops in Milwaukee are GONE. Where they once manufactured rolling stock and maintained and rebuilt locomotives is now a parking lot for MIller Park (home of the Brewers baseball club). The City has plans for the whole area (parks, casino, hotels, etc..). There is more preserved MIlwaukee Road buildings in Montana, Idaho,and Washington than in MIlwaukee and Chicago. <br /> <br />WalMart did not put Mom & Pop out of business. K Mart, Sears, Woolwoth, etc.. did that. WalMart is putting KMart,et. al. out of business. Let's just pass legislation to limit the size of any business to not more than 100 employees. This ensures that there will only be Ma & Pa shops, very short line railroads, no steel mills, no large mines, no large farms, etc.. <br /> <br />Yes it is a shame to see old buildings fall into disrepair and be lost. A C&NW roundhouse in MIlwaukee was razed many years ago, and there is now a small industrial park there (with a defunct KMart).
