Milwaukee Junction Mornings
The late spring sun is slowly shedding light on the locomotive terminal at Milwaukee Junction in Detroit on June 5, 1961. Steam has made a return a year after being removed from scheduled passenger service, however, some steam lingered into 1961 in freight service before being completely retired. In a few hours, the 6323 would pull a passenger excursion special out of Brush Street west out of Detroit to the joy of many fans and passengers. The locomotive would sit for many years and was eventually sold to the Illinois Railway Museum in 1981, where it still resides today. Photographer unknown.
