As with SP and CPR on passenger locos, MILW installed icicle breakers on the top back of some locos. The cables (on both sides) allowed crews to retract them without climbing atop the locos.

This photo was taken on my first birthday. What a gem, too! I like the fresh angle on Hyak. The trolley is gone, the rails dilapidated, the grand brick substation eerily quiet. Sad to see such a proud railroad in such bad shape.

I don't know what to say....simply speechless. I guess all I have is this. THANK YOU...I'm truly grateful you were there to see this and even more grateful you are willing to share with those of us who didn't and never will.
