This book is about legends of the Milwaukee Electrics; about the freight motors and passenger motors which ruled the Milwaukee Road’s routes through the mountains of Montana and Washington State for fifty-nine years. The electrics were a rugged and unique form of motivepower, fueled through copper wires instead of coal or oil. No pillar or smoke tomark their path, no cinders and soot in their wake.They bestedsteam in every area of service and outlasted many diesels.
