A Milwaukee Road Non-confrontational thread.

On train rides:<br> I just checked out, "The Olympian - A Ride to Remember," from the library through inter-library loan. I'm just getting into it. It's good. Like the poster above, the author also remarks how smooth the ride was. Those trains were obviously tops in their class back in the day.<br> <br> Would also like to say that I can understand how people can feel strongly and the Milwaukee Road, or other railroads. Some grew up with the railroad and were part of railroad families, and I can understand how it must feel for them to see that whole life's worth of memories wiped out. Kind of like seeing your childhood home bulldozed, but maybe worse. Seems to me the Milwaukee did not have to go down the path it did, so I understand the frustration of the people who were there to see the company get totally wiped out in the matter of a few years by a few determined people. I would also like to say "sorry" for any negative comments I made here about people who have strong feelings today about the Milwaukee or any other railroad. Thought this "non-confrontational" thread would be the right place to say this.<br> <br>
