Milwaukee Road, Rocky Mt. Division

Whilst doing some elementary research into this route (I try and get an understanding of those routes which I download but about which I know absolutely bugger-all) I came across this photo.It has to be one of the most evocative I have seen and certainly goes a long way towards explaining the fascination of this railroad.http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=52662Regards,
Bruce.

Isn't Avery just the most delightful little place? Like something out of a model railroad.Thanks for the link; the more I see and read about the Rocky Mt. Division of the Milwaukee Road the more I am drawn to it.Regards,

The Coast Division in Washington State isn't too shabby, either. I'd really like to see it done ( Todd? ).If you can get Green Frog Productions Video "Pacific Northwest Kaliedoscope" , you'll see what I mean. Timtimmuir@wcn.net

If you want an RMD video, check this one out...
(idk if this is the one u got, this one is only 1 DVD, but has 3 movies on it)http://pentrex.com/milwdvd.html
Its prob the best video that i bought lately, and has gotten me totally hooked on the RMD... the views are just amazing... i watch it almost once a week if not more lol...and if you wanna see the RMD in HO scale (which once i saw this i wish i had more money and a bigger layout room...) check this out..http://community-2.webtv.net/keithfink/TheMilwaukeeRoads/

That's the DVD I've ordered.
Sorry - I meant to say the "3 movie set on DVD" and it came out rather abbreviated!Bruce.

For those interested in a good read about the Milwaukee Road in Washington,Idaho,and Montana check out "The Milwaukee Road Revisited"by Stanley W.Johnson.His stepfather worked for the Milwaukee Road for 53 years and retired in 1953 after many years as a conductor on passenger trains between Spokane and various Montana depots.I checked it out of the local library about a year ago,enjoyed so much that I had to have a copy.I found one after a search at
http://www.abebooks.com which has the inventory of about 12000 used book sellers.
