Milwaukee GP40

Description:  When GTW was working towards trying to buy the Milwaukee it was not unusual to see Milwaukee units on GTW freights. As we all know GTW didnt end up obtaining the Milwaukee but on this day they were still in the running and this Milwaukee GP40 was sitting just west of the run through shop in the yard at Port Huron
