Trains

This train load of cedar poles was a common sight in the first half of the 20th century.

The following information from Rod Leachman:  In 1910 the Milwaukee had a G4-e class ten-wheeler No. 142, built by Schenectady in August, 1888, c/n 2681 orig. # 767, reno. in 1899 to 142, reno. in 1912 to 2150, scrapped May, 1926. This locomotive does not look like a typical Milw. 4-6-0 of that period.
