More rare than the MILW unit, you caught a centennial with a siren on the cab roof! These were tested on some 6900s. I paced one eastbound on US 30 in NE in 1978. The siren? Very "alarming".

The UP and MILW pooled power between Bensenville and Kansas City during this time. So getting an MILW unit that far west is very unusual!
