Milwaukee Road Diesel Power

The Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific Railroad began its journey with diesel electric locomotives in 1939, initially sampling small switching locomotives.  The Milwaukee's diesel power journey culminated with a fleet of over 300 locomotives when the road was purchased by Soo Line in 1985.

This book covers the entire history of The Milwaukee Road's eclectic diesel roster from the humble beginnings of the diesel era through the sale of the road to the SOO.  Detailed coverage is provided on each model in the Milwaukee's locomotive fleet (including its home built Bulldog motor cars and industrial switchers).  The multitude of paint schemes that adorned the fleet is also examined as is the road's complex locomotive renumbering and retirement information.  Many of the Milwaukee's diesels continued operating on other railroads well into the 21st century; many will continue to operate for years to come while several have found homes in museums.  Join the authors as they explore in detail the fascinating diesel locomotive fleet of The Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific Railroad!
