If you live in Milwaukee you'll know that this is probably the most photographed building in the city. That being said- i decided to take a picture of it :)
The Milwaukee Road was a train from 1925 to 1928 and then changed it name to (CMStP&P) Chicago, Milwaukee, St, Paul, & Pacific Railroad. That rail lasted into 1977 and was absorbed by SOO Line in 1985.
SOO Line is the US subsidy of CN Canadian Pacific Railroad.

Detail of the family crypt for Valentin Blatz (1826 to 1894). Blatz purchased a brewery and later expanded the buildings until they covered more than four city blocks. In 1874, he produced Milwaukee’s first bottled beer. The company was incorporated in 1889 as the Valentin Blatz Brewing Company. Blatz was also prominent in banking, railroad promotion and real estate.
Here's another Milwaukee Road electric image from my collection, this one shows Boxcab E50A at Butte Yard, in use as a helper set on Pipestone Pass circa 1973.
A couple of these 1915 built boxcabs were preserved for display; this one, Unit E50A+B (originally 10200A+B), the first one built, is at the Lake Superior Railroad Museum in Duluth, Minnesota. Unit E57B, originally 10211B, is now preserved at Harlowton, Montana.

Beneath the Milwaukee skyline, Soo Line train 199 curves toward the North 25th Street overpass on a sunny Wisconsin afternoon of September 12, 1987. The train of matched blue UELX covered hoppers is powered by two former Milwaukee Road EMD SD40-2s, with lead motor No. 6365 all dressed up in classic (not) Soo Line “bandit” black patch colors.

Milwaukee North #2131 takes off for Fox Lake behind the ex-GO #530 (METX #98) passing what will become the Fox Lake double-header later that afternoon with the former AMTK #465 and another ex-GO F59PH. Since picking up its first F59 almost seven years ago, Metra has put these engines to good use.
UP's Marsh Job picks up an empty boxcar at National Warehouse Corp in Milwaukee's Harbor View area. The crew is shoving all the way to the end of the short spur in order to make the hitch as a dip in the spur created difficulties coupling. The car was spotted Monday of that week, having been only the second load in about two months. High water levels and well below freezing temperatures had kept the KK River swing bridge frozen in the open position the previous week, resulting in two switches for the customer this week. The crew would replace the empty with another load of bagged salt/aggregate before returning to Jones Island. Milwaukee, WI

UP YPR60A hovers over Milwaukee Avenue as it spots the upper level of Blommer. The yellow brick building adjacent to the tracks was the C&NW Express Terminal, now Pickens and Kane. In the distance, surrounded by high-rises, was the C&NW corporate office building, originally a Butler Brothers building and now redeveloped into apartment housing.

Built in March 1966 by the Electro Motive Division of General Motors, The Milwaukee Road's 3000 horsepower GP40, 190, was in charge of the hottest trains on the massive system. In the late sixties, the 190 was renumbered to MILW 2010, where it would remain until getting SOO markings in 1986. On May 14, 2012, still working for the CP/SOO in a diminished capacity, the SOO 2010 works the G64 "Watertown Patrol" and showing it's neglect by the owner. The original number that EMD applied to the locomotive in La Grange IL. is more visible than it's re-numbering. Last year, after being deemed no longer needed by the locomotives third owner, the Canadian Pacific, the once proud steed was reduced to scrap iron and recycled.
Below is a link to a piece of this locomotive.
The sun poked out from behind the clouds for a few shots, as the ELS 1221 trodded through the grass southbound to Green Bay. There's still a few nods to the former owner of this railroad poking out of the weeds here and there, if you know where to look.
