Milwaukee Rd E-9's Western Ave round house & turntable 1979,
Its May 1979 and the Milwaukee Rd has there six E9's stored serviceable inside the round house at Western Ave .The rails are rusted and grass is growing over the rails .I'm surprised with these engines being built in 1963 and only being 14 years were stored when the Milwaukee Rd was leasing power because half of there fleet of units was out of service.The Erie & the Rock Island and Penn central was even using E-units on Frt .These units were just as good as GP-35's but never ran again under the Milwaukee Rd
