The Milwaukee Road Rocky Mountain DivisionMost of my memories of the Milwaukee Road are from the Rocky Mountain and Idaho Divisions. Included here are a few photos of western Montana and the Milwaukee Road.

![]() This is a shot of the unique Little Joe E78 and three GP40's westbound (east of Saltese). Notice there must have been a problem with the power output as E78 has both pans up. This photo was taken in 1971. |
![]() E45 Boxcab helper at Haugan, Montana. I recently picked this original photo (I believe this is a Bruce Black photo) and I am not aware of when this photo was taken. One of my first memories of the Milwaukee Road is from a trip my father and I took to Haugan about 50 years ago. We were on an trip to get a shot of the new electrics (Little Joes) but only got to see the helpers (freight motors) in the yard at Haugan. Even though we didn't see much action that day, I was sold on the Milwaukee Road. |
![]() Two Little Joes, probably with an DFE(dead freight East)west of Superior, Montana. This has to be after the delivery of 150 Chip Cars in 1969. Notice 2 homemade and 4 Gunderson woodchip cars on the headend, these are bound for the Schilling plant (west of Missoula). Photographer Unknown. click here to return to the main page |
