Armed with the trusty Kodak Instamatic loaded with a fresh cartridge of 110 film, I am freezing my can off to catch the eastbound patrol departing Oconomowoc after taking care of the local customers. The trailing unit, MILW 169 was set out the previous day during the snowstorm on the Carnation spur to my left, for a locked axle. During the night, the diesel house came out and cut the pinion so it could be taken to Milwaukee for a new traction motor. The images are sketchy from those days, but the memories are as fresh as the wind driven snow.
