Is anybody here a Milwaukee Road expert? I'm trying to gather some information about pre-bilevel MILW commuter trains, and I have a few specific questions:
When were steam locomotives last used on commuter trains?
What kind of locomotives were used after the steamers were retired? I've seen pictures of GP9's pulling heavyweight cars. Were any other types used, such as E6's or E7's?
When the bilevels arrived, were they ever pulled by Geeps or anything other than the FP7's and E9's?
Anybody have any pictures of MILW heavyweight commuter trains? They seem to be rather hard to find.
Thanks!
