I left the upper Midwest in the mid 70's, so I really never caught the
real declining years except for the occasional short trip. However,
another favorite road, the Soo Line seemed to have many of the same
issues but came out with a better ending. I traveled to the small rural
communities that still had small roundhouses, well kept yards, clean
diesels and heavier rail to run on.

I have some photos of lashups on the Milwuakee that would make your
stomach turn, LOL.
Thanks
