MILW F40C #54 - MIlwaukee Road         
MILW #54 was built by EMD in May of 1974. This was the last of the fifteen soley built for the Milwaukee Road commuter service. Eventually this loco became METX #614 when the MIlwaukee Road collapsed. Although not functional, METX #614 and #611 (nee-MILW #51) have remained on the Metra roster and stored away in the Western Avenue rail yard. Possibly some day they may be restored to ride the rails again! An unidentified rail fan took these photos in the album all on the same day.ILW

Tom Beckett General Cool set. These were unique units, with their stainless steel side panels. They were kind of a HEP SDP40F. The fleet was owned by the West Suburban Mass Transit District, and leased to the MILW, later RTA and Metra. 2/19/2024 3:47:55 AM
