THE MILWAUKEE ROAD<br />
The EMD FP7A was essentially<br />
an F7A extended by four feet<br />
to provide more water for the<br />
steam generator needed to<br />
heat passenger trains.<br />
Replicating FP7A cab and<br />
F7B booster units employed<br />
in Milwaukee Road passenger service, these DCC-ready, HO scale lo<strong>com</strong>otives<br />
– part of Athearn’s top-of-the-line Genesis series – feature a powerful<br />
motor with dual flywheels for exceptional performance, a finely molded body<br />
with photo-etched metal detail parts, glazed porthole windows, a die cast<br />
chassis, and an authentic Milwaukee Road paint scheme. The A-unit also<br />
has an operating headlight and a detailed cab interior with glazed windows.<br />

Diesels of the Milwaukee Road<br />
Gruber. Due to financial insecurity, firstgeneration<br />
diesel lo<strong>com</strong>otives survived<br />
longer on the Milwaukee Road than on<br />
neighboring <strong>railroads</strong>, providing trackside<br />
observers a chance to see the<br />
newest EMD and GE models working<br />
alongside Alco, Baldwin and Fairbanks-<br />
Morse power. Filled with hundreds of rare<br />
photographs, this thorough reference examines Milwaukee<br />
Road’s diesel fleet from the road’s dieselization in the mid-<br />
1950s through its 1970s standardization and beyond.<br />

A Tribute to the Iowa,<br />
Chicago & Eastern<br />
Volume 1: Illinois<br />
Although the Iowa, Chicago &<br />
Eastern had a short life (it was<br />
formed in 2002 and purchased along<br />
with sister railroad Dakota, Minnesota<br />
and Eastern by the Canadian Pacific in 2008), it<br />
changed the face of the former Milwaukee Road<br />
lines in Illinois and Iowa. This program tours the<br />
IC&E’s routes from Chicago to Savanna, Illinois,<br />
both before and after the CP takeover to view the<br />
all-EMD roster powering trains across the<br />
