MILW F7 (Freight, Clean)

Milwaukee Road owned over 100 total F7 A & B units, some wearing simple freight paint like this set, which is unrealistically clean. Milwaukee was not known for having clean locomotives.

<kuid:99654:100423>

MILW F7 (Freight, Weathered)

Milwaukee Road's F7s were typically faded and dirty, and these are no exception - there's plenty of dirt and grime along that faded and weathered familiar orange and black paint.

<kuid:99654:100424>
<kuid:99654:100437>

MILW F7 (Freight, Heavy Weather)

The typical Milwaukee Road F-unit was filthy - which is what these portray. There's certainly enough dirt, mud, and rust on them to suggest they've been in heavy service.

<kuid:99654:100446>

MILW F7 (Passenger, Clean)

Milwaukee Road's classic orange and maroon passenger paintscheme is arguably the most well-known of theirs. Unit #118C is perhaps the most famous of the locomotives with the paint, still at IRM today. 

<kuid:99654:100133>
<kuid:99654:100134>

MILW F7 (Red/MOW)

The Milwaukee Road was known for having its oddities, and this particular F-unit is no exception. It's purpose is completely unknown, and there is but one single photo of it. Presumably MOW or temporary red paint. Nothing more is known about the numberless unit, however.

<kuid:99654:100436>

MILW SW1200 (Std.)

Milwaukee Road owned 48 SW1200s, most painted in their standard orange and black. They were usually seen switching or running local jobs.

MILW SW1200 (Hiawatha #1216)

Milwaukee #1216 was unique in that it received a special Hiawatha ​paint job by 1985 as the company was dying and being sold to SOO. Differences from the standard paint include a large Milwaukee printed on the side, the Hiawatha icon near the front, silver plates under the handholds, and a unique number placement. The reason for the paint is unknown.

<kuid:99654:100102>

SOO SW1200 (ex-MILW Bandit)

When the Milwaukee was sold to SOO Line in 1984, the new owners decided not to fully paint over all the units, mostly due to costs. As a result, many former Milwaukee units had their lettering and logos covered in black with white lettering on top. They earned the nickname of bandits.

<kuid:99654:100104>

Amtrak SW1200

Amtrak owned a handful of SW1200s after its 1971 formation. Some were given more elaborate paint jobs as time went on, but most stayed in the simple silver/black paint they originally received.

GM TR12

The TR12 was catalogued by EMD during SW1200 production, but none were built. The TR12 is a cow-calf SW1200, in which the lead unit would be paired with a cabless slug. Slug not included.

SLRR SW1200 (ph. 2)

SLRR acquired 30 SW1200s, most of which saw use as switchers and occasionally running a local train when needed. They were among the first units given the phase 2 paint.

<kuid:99654:100272>

SLRR SW1200 (ph. 3)

Of the 30 SW1200s SLRR purchased, only a few remained with the railroad past 1995 when the phase 3 paint was introduced. Some surviving units received the new paint, as well.

<kuid:99654:100407>

SLRR SW1500 (ph. 1)

SLRR owned 25 SW1500s, though few made it past the phase 1 paint scheme. They were used almost exclusively as switchers.

SLRR F7 (ph. 3)

Phase 3 F-units on the Silver Lines came into existence thanks to a request for heritage power after the company reorganization in 1995. Units 2950A & B and 2983A & C were restored and repainted in 1999.

<kuid:99654:100414>

SLRR F7 (ph. 1, Passenger)

SLRR's passenger F-units were almost completely grey and silver, with few other colours or details to speak of. They were among the first diesels given any true attention by the railroad.
​
<kuid:99654:100064>
<kuid:99654:100065>

SLRR F7 (ph. 1, Freight)

Most SLRR F-units had a few other details that set them apart from the passenger variant, most notably being covered in more black.

SLRR 0-8-0 #2447

SLRR owned 94 0-8-0s over the years, most being acquired between 1920 and 1925. Most were later rebuilt into more 'modern' SLRR steam standards by 1930, but not all. #2447 is an original USRA 0-8-0.

<kuid:99654:100178>
<kuid:99654:100179>

SLRR 2-8-2 #2457

SLRR owned 170 2-8-2s over the years, the most numerous engine purchased by the railroad. They were rebuilt between 1925 and 1930.
#2457 still survives in the modern day.

SLRR 2-10-2 #2483

1927 brought with it 60 2-10-2s for the Silver Lines. Some were strictly original USRA variants, including #2483, though they would later be rebuilt to newer standards in just a few short years.

<kuid:99654:100175>
<kuid:99654:100174>

SLRR 2-8-8-2 #2371

SLRR owned 5 USRA 2-8-8-2s, purchased in 1924. 3 were rebuilt to modern SLRR steam standards in 1933, but #2371 was one of the 2 not rebuilt - it also survives today.
