Pulling into town |
| Description: |
A local on the ex MILW line from Albert Lea to Austin arrives at Austin behind a set of patch painted MILW units. SOO had taken over the Milauke Road two years earlier, and had done a good job thus far on painting out the MILW markings, not so good on full repaints. |

One of each |
| Description: |
During the transition period where SOO was assimilating the Milwaukee, it was possible to see a mix of power. Here we have a patch painted MILW unit, and untouched MILW unit with a SOO unit trailing. In another few years, CP will absorb SOO fully, and the process will start again. This 71 car eastbound was rolling under Daytons Bluff at Hoffman Av. |

Old roundhouse |
| Description: |
I found the MILW yard and roundhouse while passing through Mason City. There was a lot of power there, including a MILW Hiawatha SD 40-2, which unfortunately was not where I could get a good photo. Still, the facilities here harken to another era, with the roundhouse still in service, and the spreader at far left. |
