Description

Railroad Short Name: MILW

Starting in 1983, the Milwaukee Road began painting SD40-2’s in their final paint scheme- featuring an orange and black “lightning stripe” and the Hiawatha logo on the nose. Equipped with standard range dynamic brakes and the smaller 3200-gallon fuel tank, they could commonly be found in the 80s and 90s working with other Milwaukee units, and later, Soo Line power.
