Michael Morris General More rare than the MILW unit, you caught a centennial with a siren on the cab roof! These were tested on some 6900s. I paced one eastbound on US 30 in NE in 1978. The siren? Very "alarming". 7/14/2015 4:08:16 PM
Alan Fricker General The UP and MILW pooled power between Bensenville and Kansas City during this time. So getting an MILW unit that far west is very unusual! 7/14/2015 9:58:47 PM
Randy Curlin General Terrific shot! 12/20/2021 11:23:34 AM
