I have never been to see whatever is left of the Milwaukee Road but when I began to be a model railroader (again) twenty-two years ago, I bought several books on the CMStP&P and realized that it was a remarkable railroad and an engineering landmark built through some of the most remote territory and beautiful and challenging terrain in the United States. And its locomotives, especially the electrics, were also extraordinary. That is why I think that E21James's recreation of the most formidable section of the Milwaukee Road is a such worthy project.

And an engineering feat it was. St. Paul Pass and Adair loop are an incredible piece of railroad history. And trust me, trying to “engineer” it into the space I have is quite a challenge. But I hope to give a good representation of the Milwaukee’s electrified mainline. Something I have wanted to do since I was a wee kiddo!

Thank you!
