What if the Milwaukee Road survived?

 
Every so often Don Carnegie brings out a brand new "what if" they were able to avoid bankruptsy and purchase the newest GE or EMD engine models. Here's what they
would have looked like in the form of an 1/87 scale model. They certainly would have been "Little Joe Killers" as electrication would not have been needed.
 
What if the Spokane, Portland & Seattle had 4-6-6-4 Challengers just like the big railroads? Oh wait , they did have a few and the came to Spokane quite often.
Steve Weso's model of the #900 is a thing of beauty as it stops at the Bakersville station...but why? It's a freight train?
 
Mr SP&S himself, Keith Wiles had his train our on the main line last week as it made its way past the Blue Main yard.
 
By accident I caught 3 trans cabooses in one shot without any encouragement of the owners. What's a caboose you might ask? You will have a ask a member smarter than me.
 
Scotty Smith is a big Union Pacific fan especially he likes the large units the railroad had such as Gas Turbines,  Centennials and these high horsepower units.
Out for a test run to see if everything is working properly.
