They had a highly functional, yet striking paint scheme. That orange was great. They knew the black paint masked a lot of rust and soot. And, when they ran the orange, maroon and black passenger trains, they had a better scheme than after 1955, when they became Union Pacific's Chicago connection and went to the U.P. yellow.
Just going to have to bring out my old Milwaukee slides and put them into something like this. I captured the last Milwaukee coal train leaving the mill at Gascoyne, ND.

This reminds me of watching the Milwaukee Road freight trains rolling past our summer cabin in the Lake Pepin/Redwing area.
Wow, a miracle right off the bat: a wash rack on the Milwaukee being used! Great video-loved it!
Outstanding Matt. Thank you.
This is a very helpful video for me as I'm modeling the Milwaukee Road in the 1970's.

The Milwaukee Road became part of the Soo Line Railroad in 1986 which adopted the Canadian Pacific Railway name in 1990.
