Milwaukee Road ALCo 988
Title:  Milwaukee Road ALCo 988
Description:  This locomotive is not too far removed from operable condition, but has slipped even further down the MCRY's priority list due to the flood damage to their regular excursion diesels, in addition to the ongoing steam restoration efforts.

ALCo diesels outside the shops
Title:  ALCo diesels outside the shops
Description:  The paint on these two has faded noticeably since I last saw them in 2009. No. 7 is operational and trades off with 1256 on the regular passenger train. 988 has been "close" to operational condition for several years.

Title:  Activity in the Mid-Continent Railway shops as #2 is prepared for a steam test
Description:  While much of the media attention has gone to the C&NW 1385, this locomotive has quietly come much closer to being ready for operation. It last operated in 2/2000.

MILW 988
Title:  MILW 988
Description:  Rare 1946 Alco RSC-2. This locomotive ran well and was still switching as late as 1976. After being purchased by the Kettle Morain Scenic Railway, it then went to Trans Northern. The engine was then stored by the Escanaba and Lake Superior until purchased by the museum in 1985. It has operated at the museum but needs some work before it can run again.

MILW 988 WSOR X103 D&R 9
Title:  MILW 988 WSOR X103 D&R 9
Description:  WSOR 1603 has a neat history. It is a transfer caboose that was rebuilt by the GTW from a boxcar in 1975. The museum got it in 1996, but in 2002, the Wisconsin and Southern Railroad decided it was still useful and leased it until 2002. You know a museum piece is good when active railroads still want to use it!
