The Milwaukee Road in Montana - FULL VIDEO

In this video, C. Vision Productions brings you historic footage of Milwaukee Road trains in Montana and Washington, including the final four days of electric operations between Harlowton and Deer Lodge, Montana in June of 1974. We’ll see ground shots, pace scenes, and even in-cab footage aboard Milwaukee Road “Little Joes” in this full-length presentation. Diesels are seen in this program as well, with EMD models SD45, SD40-2, and GP40 making multiple appearances. Mixed consists of diesels and electrics were common, with the units teaming up to battle the mountain grades of Montana. Come along with photographer Ted Pope, as he brings the Milwaukee Road’s “Lines West” back to life, while we tour some of the most scenic territory on the railroad. Highlights include Deer Lodge, Butte, Pipestone Pass, Jefferson Canyon, Three Forks, Lombard, and Sixteen Mile Canyon, along with many more fascinating locations visited along the way. As an added bonus, we follow Milwaukee Road’s Bicentennial SD40-2, MILW 156, on its travels through the state of Washington. Copyright 2011, C.
