This ex-branch line car which was converted into MOW service rests in Portage in August 1992. I was amazed that C.M.St.P.& P. reporting marks was used on this car as I thought that active use of this style of canted logo ended decades before MILW was sold to Soo in 1985. Perhaps it was the only stencil that the shops had handy at the time? Another similar car, #980416 was coupled to it to the left, that one bearing a prominent Hiawatha logo.
