The Milwaukee Road Warrior
Thrilla in Manilla!
Rarely have foamers witnessed such exhilarating railroading as this Milwaukee patrol caught by Bill Ohde in Manilla, Iowa. This was the point where the Milwaukee main split off with the southern leg going to Council Bluffs and the northern leg going to Sioux City. This train, behind FP7 104A, is heading westbound (depot out of view behind the locomotive) in August 1974.
Such scenes boggle the mind.
