MILW 312 -MILW STORED 08301981 MRB

Another walking the 35th Street bridge finds too many units stored, capped and dispo uncertain on 8-31-1982. One has got my attention, the 312 with its unusual "braces" across the cab roof. Far unlike the old Athearn Blue box GP9 in which the cab came off by pulling it upward, what was the the reasoning for this if anyone knows. I had yet to see any other units with this securing.
