Remarks & Notes

GE Steeple Cabs E81 and E82 from Milwaukee F7A 81A at Tacoma Tide Flats Yard in February 1975. The electric switchers built between 1916 and 1919 are awaiting the scrapper's torch, while the F unit has recently been repainted and is part of an A-B-A set that serves as a helper to climb Tacoma Hill. The B unit in the set is a slug, and the set would remain in service until the end of Milwaukee's presence in the Pacific Northwest in March 1980.
