HR6584D MILWAUKEE ROAD, Box Car, running number #4
Product Info
| Milwaukee Road had a strained history with humble ambitions, stretching out all the way from Louisville, Kentucky to Puget Sound, and for a short period of time yielding the longest end-to-end railroad in the United States. Starting in 1850, their first 5 miles of track were laid between Milwaukee to Wauwatuosa and expanded to the Mississippi River by 1857. In an attempt to keep up with the competition of other large railroads expanding west, they commenced reaching over the mountain ranges into the Pacific Northwest. Completed in 1909, it only took three years to complete the 2300 miles but cost an exorbitant amount of money that Milwaukee Road was never able to fully recover from as they filed several bankruptcies over the next couple decades and eventually dissolved by 1977. During the days of steam, the high mountains of Montana played a role in reaching freezing temperatures that made the difficult passage, but soon diesel was able to conquer the feat and could regularly be seen pulling Milwaukee Road box cars. These boxcars ran regularly from 1955-1975 and could be seen being pulled by 1st and 2nd generation diesel locomotives or late steam. These highly detailed and authentically liveried box cars are made using high-quality construction materials and come equipped with knuckle couplers and metal road wheels, featuring sliding doors. |
