Weres all the Milwaukee fans?

Hey, where are all you guys at? I wpuld love to learn more about one of my favorite RR's from some of you. I Live in washington state and was born one year after the pacific extension was abondoned, from what I have seen and know about it they should have been able to give the BN a run for there money! There route could have been faster and had better grade then the GN and NP.

I saw a pic in a book of a Milwakee/soo bandit SD40-2 in a BN train going over Stevens pass, There was a coment made by the enginer that "that was the smoothest run over these mountains this unit ever had!" I plan on doing a EMD bandit unit for my RR soon.

I'm a fan in Milwaukee http://www.trainboard.com/smile.gif
I have seen a few bandits down by the CP yard.

What's that?
A train horn?
Sorry, gotta go!
