I'm not doing FB these days, but did Milepost mention which portion of the electrification they were doing? I'm glad to see this route being done.

No.

Those photos are both between Butte, MT and Three Forks, MT, as are the other two previously posted.

I am really looking forward to this route! It has been a long time coming! Hopefully with the box cabs, we will get some "Little Joe's" and a few quills!

This will be a VERY welcome addition to the game. I'm also hoping an EF-4 "Little Joe" eventually gets made for this route (maybe reppo could do one?). Maybe even a new hiawatha trainset could come in the future! (though that's depending on what divison this route will model).

A further update on the Pipestone Pass route. The route has now been submitted for QA. They have also said that they are going to do another route for TSC.

Looks steep, but is it . . . . ?

Found this great shot on railpictures.net . . . almost looks fake . . .

An empty ballast train shoves west to clear the crossing before loading up..jpg

Any word on this MILW route? The last we heard it was in for QA.....then "Radio Silence". Just curious...I love the Milwaukee "Big Jacks"!

It was mentioned over on the Dovetail forum that the locos will be unbranded as offered. You can make book that there will be logos and such within a day or so of introduction here on RWA.

Thank you Buzz and everyone else who gives us so many wonderful repaints!

Does anyone have insight into why a branding license wasn’t acquired for this route?

I think you need to ask Jonathan that question. Wikipedia: Milwaukee Road Historical Association now owns the Milwaukee Road trademarks/copyrights
