Anyway, There are three F-units down at the Illinois railway museum. One is in the process of being rebuilt (FP-7A) the other is in running condition and they use it.(F7A) The B unit i am not sure about. They also have an E-unit being rebuilt and a U25B. They have a couple others there too. www.irm.org This is the wabsite. James
QUOTE: Originally posted by CMSTPP MLW does not stand for Milwaukee road. MILW is the signature for the Milwaukee. The units you are talking about are locomotives/ Alco model units with the safety cab. Now if you know about the milwaukee road you would know that these units where never bought or used on the milwaukee. I can see where you could get little bit confused on this. Don't mind my friend he's being mean! Max!!!! James

QUOTE: Originally posted by Noah Hofrichter The RSC2 is running at Mid Continent Railway in North Freedom Wisconsin, not Green Bay, about a two and a half hour difference. Here is the page from the museum's website about the 988 (the RSC2): http://www.midcontinent.org/collectn/DIESEL/milw988.html If anyone here has never been to Mid Continent in North Freedom (about 2 or 3 miles from Baraboo, WI), I highly recommend the trip. It's a neat little hour long round trip out to a quarry, and travels through one small town. The Museum has a lot of neat peices of equipment too. Right now they use an S-1 to run the excursion trains, although hopefully soon there Steam will be repaired and back in running order again. I can't wait for that day (which is more than 5 years comming). Noah
QUOTE: Originally posted by nssr9169 [That may be true but how about RSC 2 running at the midcontinat railway museaum in green bay. Also the North shore senic doesn't own the box cabs the Lake Superior Railway Museam owns them, the north shore dosen't own ANYTHING, it's just a name which is run by a substiary the Duluth and North Shore Railroad, of the Lsrm, so in essance the nssr is only a turm used to discribe the passenger operations at the museam. YOU WORK THERE I CANT, BELEIVE YOU DIDN,T KNOW THAT.............................. Ever look at the orginization that pays you............ The LSRM NOT the NSSR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
