   nmp...   somebody really likes the Milwaukee Railroad...

Those are my Milwaukee Road trains.  Having grown up in Milwaukee, I fell in love with the Milwaukee Road and now only collect Milwaukee Road trains.   Arno Baars took the photo when he stayed at my house while attending a WGHT train show at Dulles where our club, SGMA, was setting up and operating a huge Standard Gauge layout.  He referred to the "orange wall" of trains as "my shrine" to the Milwaukee Road.

 . . . and no Milwaukee Road picture collection is complete without a little fake news.   A surviving Hiawatha Class "A"  found in a field in Iowa.  If only . . .

Does anyone know what has happened to this downsized Hiawatha Atlantic shell, which I believe was originally built by the Milwaukee Road on a truck frame and driven around as an advertisement for Milwaukee's new streamlined Hiawatha train?

I believe the MRHA made an offer to purchase said shell, however one of the Brothers that own it did not want to sell, so its still rotting in a field
