Eco Trio
CP GP22C-ECOs 2210, 2224 and 2292 pull a cut of cars out of the west end of Muskego Yard in Milwaukee alongside an arriving manifest. Muskego's trim jobs are often worked by pairs of ECO units, but this was the first time I'd seen a trio.
Beyond them is the main Rexnord Corporation (formerly Falk) plant. One of the few heavy-industrial concerns left in the Menomonee Valley, it manufactures gears, industrial drives and motors, conveyors, and the like, along with plumbing hardware. Among the achievements of its predecessor, Falk Corporation, was the early development of rail welding, (mainly for streetcar trackage) and the production of gears and other components for customers from local small industry all the way up to the US Navy and NASA. Fortunately, the company's future presence in Milwaukee seems assured, as a new headquarters is currently being moved into a refurbished building downtown.
