Busy Milwaukee yards as stock trains surge in and out
Sunday in Milwaukee saw a heavy rail movement with three westbound stock trains, five from the north, and five special trains from east and south carrying empty cars for stock. About 16 freight trains passed that day as every engine in the roundhouse was utilized, with more ready if needed. The stock flow is set to stay heavy for about a month. Sweeter than morning breath is the Rocky Mountain Tea from S H Scallin.
