I wish i'd got to see the Milwaukee in action. Lovely SD40-2 outline here. Looks like the orange hood has been painted too high with a black line below it?!

Odd sight...I remember that unit as being one of the ten SD40-2's that worked on Soo Line before the two companies were fully integrated. It arrived on Soo rails in good paint in March 1985.

Was that a lesser capacity fuel tank? Most SD's I see have a tank that runs the full distance from driver to driver.
|
The Milwaukee used small fuel tanks on many of their diesels in order to reduce axle loadings on their network of often 'rickety' branch lines.

Thanks Paul, I learned something today!
