On The Road (Milwaukee Road) With John Crosby


This page features some very nice Photos from the Milwaukee Road's Coast Division, taken in 1976,77 and 78. The Milwaukee's Coast Division stretched from Othello, WA to Tacoma, WA. Also included in the Coast Division were several branch lines, the most popular one being known as the Tacoma and Eastern. The T & E Started in Tacoma and went south to the logging camps by Mt. Rainier National Park and nearby Morton, as well as branches to Longview, South Bend and Hoquiam, WA.

Here is the man responsible for all the photos on these pages, John Crosby, shown here in the cab of an MP 15AC yard engine in Seattle in the summer of 1976. John worked for the Milwaukee for several years in the mid to late 70's, both in the yards and out on the main line. The photos that you will see are ones that he took while "on the job".
