The Detroit Connecting comes out onto CN rails at Milwaukee Junction behind the background of the massive Russell Industrial Center. Designed by renowned architect Albert Kahn, the facility was built in 1915 for the Murray Body Corporation which was the third-largest car body manufacturer in the nation prior to World War II. It was turned into a mixed-use industrial complex after Murray left the auto industry in 1955.
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.

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.
Milwaukee Road Geeps 953, 308, 312 and 282 occupy the radial tracks of the east roundhouse in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on June 23, 1981.

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 late spring sun is slowly shedding light on the locomotive terminal at Milwaukee Junction in Detroit on June 5, 1961. Steam has made a return a year after being removed from scheduled passenger service, however, some steam lingered into 1961 in freight service before being completely retired. In a few hours, the 6323 would pull a passenger excursion special out of Brush Street west out of Detroit to the joy of many fans and passengers. The locomotive would sit for many years and was eventually sold to the Illinois Railway Museum in 1981, where it still resides today. Photographer unknown.
Milwaukee Road 109-A leads two B units past the depot at Amasa, Michigan on Sept. 9, 1979. In March 1980 this line and all the Milwaukee lines in Upper Michigan save the branch to Menominee will become the property of the Escanaba & Lake Superior.
