Superb! Thanks for posting this. Easily recognizable scenes. My family went through the area on a road trip vacation back in May-June of 1973 when I was 6 years old. We were in Butte four days and I was amazed at how much rail activity there was - there were tracks and trains everywhere. I still remember seeing the catenary and electrics on that trip and I didn't even know what I was looking at out the car window was unique and about to be extinct. I've been back west as far as Taft recently, vising the remaining ghosts and relics, but St. Paul's pass and Avery are still on the bucket list for a future road trip. Interesting that you modelled one of the EP-4's. The Little Joe that I most rarely see in photos, film, or models is the E-79.
Wow. It is like looking at an article that I read about the Milwaukee Road in a train magazine. I have always wanted to get five or six of the HO scale P5a electric locomotives that were offered in a fantasy Great Northern paint scheme awhile back and electrify a mountain pass on my railroad. Hello from the Tracy Mountain Railway in Colorado. 💙 T.E.N.
Beautifully done layout guys!
The layout looks beautiful, and so do the trains. I love the vintage auto haulers.
Excellent! This is so nostalgic for me, with so many recognizable features. You have done a marvelous job. Nice to see E-34 on scene, too. 👍👍

That was very cool.
Great camera angles! Well done!

Very impressive layout. The detail and scenery are top notch, and the landmark structures are superb. Quite the work of art.
You've captured the spirit of the Milwaukee Road!

Incredible layout!!
Cool Little Joes.
Love seeing your layout photos and videos. Are cars 4 and 5 Chevy Vega auto-racks?
I think they are, they look like them. I am 89%sure
Called “Verti-pacs”, I believe.
The Little Joe was really different.
Very nice layout and locomotives who made your box cabs👍
I love it. Do you ever run Milwaukee Road steam and Boxcab days? 1916-1940s style
