Reply to "3rd Rail Announces Milwaukee Road EP-3 Electrics"

On the Pacific end The Milwaukee ran through heavily forested areas with really big trees in the Seattle water shead area.   On the east end in Montana the tracks ran on a shelf along the edge of valleys or canyons where rock slider would have been a problem.  Maybe it was to protect agains a pantographs that got tangled up in the overhead when double heading as the second unit. I do not know, but in those days the windshield glass was probably just double strength plain old house glass. You surely did not want a face full of it.
