Milwaukee Road GP20 967-958, Chgo Hgts, IL rescan
Going back, way back, to when the Milwaukee Road used the B&OCT to reach home rails on its way to Faithorn and points south. We see a pair of the Milwaukee's "Omaha Geeps" or GP20s, as they liked to call them, headed south, approaching Chicago Heights. Home rails are just ahead, across Joe Orr Road, while the old C&EI crosses overhead. The tracks in the foreground are industry tracks used by Chessie's Run 19, to serve several businesses. Yep, all gone today, except for the busy old C&EI, now jointly owned by UP and CSX.
