Eco-friendly takeover - a photo on Flickriver

            Reuploaded because I accidentally deleted it... oops.

286 leaves Muskego Yard with CP 5041 leading a couple CSX GEs, one of which is in YN2 paint. Whats unique about shooting on “The Wash” (or anywhere in Milwaukee, to be honest) is the settings merging together. Once a very heavy industrial city, most of these buildings are abandoned from their original use and were either converted to something else or just plain vacant. 

In between the old buildings is nature, as evidently shown with the tree framing the old Sprecher smokestack (which is currently being demolished from what it looks like). I certainly doubt this was common in the days when this would’ve been an SD40-2; when environmental standards were certainly not as strict as they are today, but times a changin. It’s now an SD30C-ECO, further proof that being friendly to the environment is the way of the future, and will never slow down.
