Title: New Milwaukee Railroader Feature Issue on Chicago
Post by: TBurke on March 31, 2007, 09:06:42 PM

As a heads-up the Milwaukee Road Historical Association (MRHA) just mailed out a new issue focused on the Milwaukee Road in Chicago.  It\'s the first time since 1980 that the MRHA has showcased Chicago to this extent.  Lots of good photos and maps.  

It\'s a must-have for any fan of the former Milwaukee Road freight and passenger operations in and around Chicago.  Anything Chicago related tends to sell out quickly.

In June a book length special issue will come out from the MRHA going into much more detail about the Chicago Terminal operations of the Milwaukee Road in the Windy City.

You can order copies via www.mrha.com

Great - I\'ll be waiting for it.

Do you have any articles in it?  Is there any overlap with the forthcoming book?

The editor of TMR, Mike Schaffer, wrote the article essentially but I am credited as one of the sources for information.  Elements from my upcoming feature are pulled into this overview.
