Milwaukee Anti-war Committee:

Join us in protesting the Wisconsin Defense Industry Council on Tuesday, May 13. Meet us at the Pewaukee Park & Ride at 12:30 pm. While the U.S. uses tax payer money to spread destruction and bloodshed across the globe, CEOs of defense contractors profit. Wisconsin doesn’t need more defense contracts! Wisconsin needs peace manufacturing! No WDIC! No genocide jobs!

Not a bad neighborhood—but it’s sure noisy at times by Mike Danneman Via Flickr: Taking up residence behind the background of a Union Switch & Signal Company searchlight signal on the Soo Line’s former Milwaukee Road westbound main line at Pewaukee, Wisconsin, is an American Robin sitting on her nest of eggs on June 11, 1991.

Dad helped break the ice for working over Pewaukee; by chainsawing the big deadwood leader out of it and breaking the severed leader to manageable parts.

The next day (today) I got the silkie saw and secateurs and nipped/pruned a lot of the old live braches to attempt to get it to induce new growth, whether to save the actual tree or to at least get some vigorous scionwood to salvage it through grafting the next year or two.

Westbound Winnebago by Mike Danneman Via Flickr: Amtrak F69PHAC Nos. 450 and 451 were the first all-new A.C. traction locomotives in North America. They were experimentals that were built at La Grange in 1989, and were outfitted with Siemens A.C. traction equipment along with a 12-710G prime mover. After testing at Pueblo, they put on thousands of miles in passenger service providing EMD with plenty of test data and real road experience using A.C. traction. The slant windows and lack of a front nose gave the locomotives an unique look, and they acquired the nickname “Winnebagos” in some circles. Having served their purpose as testbeds, the pair returned to EMD (and briefly later toured with Amtrak’s ICE train) and finally succumbed to languishing unused at NRE after 1999. In this view, the pair kicks up some dust leading Amtrak’s Empire Builder through Pewaukee, Wisconsin, on the afternoon of May 31, 1992.
