Die Milwaukee Road (der gebr\u00e4uchliche Name f\u00fcr die Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific Railroad) betrieb eine kurze, isolierte Bahnstrecke von 80km L\u00e4nge auf der Olympic Peninsula in Washington State, zwischen Port Townsend und Port Angeles. Ans \u00fcbrige Netz war die Linie mittels F\u00e4hren angebunden, die die Verbindung zwischen Seattle und Port Townsend herstellten.<\/p>\n
Die Linie diente haupts\u00e4chlich dem Transport von Holz. In Port Angeles, wo auch ein kleines Yard vorhanden war, gab es zwei S\u00e4gem\u00fchlen. In Port Townsend war eine Papierfabrik gro\u00dfer Kunde. In Sequim wurde Holz verladen, au\u00dferdem gab es dort eine Futtermittelfabrik, die von Zeit zu Zeit mit Getreide beliefert wurde.<\/p>\n
Die Milwaukee Road verkehrte mit einem Zug t\u00e4glich zwischen Port Angeles und Port Townsend. Als Lokomotiven kamen dabei EMD SD7 und SD9 zum Einsatz. Zus\u00e4tzlich gab es an den beiden Endpunkten Rangierlokomotiven (EMD SW), die die Kunden bedienten und dem Be- und Entladen der F\u00e4hren dienten.<\/p>\n
Nach dem Konkurs der Milwaukee Road wurde die Linie von der Seattle & North Coast Railroad \u00fcbernommen. Diese betrieb die Linie anf\u00e4nglich mit einer Ex-MILW SD9, die dann durch drei von Burlington Northern \u00fcbernommene EMD F7 ersetzt wurde. Von der Milwaukee Road wurden drei SWs \u00fcbernommen. Neben dem Frachtverkehr probierte die S&NC auch, den Passagierverkehr wieder anzukurbeln. Letztendlich ging die Gesellschaft jedoch schon 1984 bankrott und musste Anfang 1985 den Betrieb einstellen.<\/p>\n
Die Strecke wurde Ende der 80er Jahre abgebaut, ist in Teilen aber als Wanderweg ausgebaut.<\/p>\n
Aufgrund ihrer Insellage und K\u00fcrze eignet sich diese Linie ausgezeichnet f\u00fcr eine Umsetzung im Modell. Punkt-zu-Punkt Betrieb ohne Schattenbahnh\u00f6fe, da die F\u00e4hre den “Schattenbahnhof” darstellt. Dargestellt werden sollten Port Angeles, Sequim und Port Townsend, sowie die ber\u00fchmte Br\u00fccke<\/a> \u00fcber den Dungeness River.<\/p>\n Zwei Epochen bieten sich an. Einerseits die Milwaukee Road in den 70ern, andererseits die Seattle & North Coast Anfang der 80er. Ersteres hat den Vorteil, dass es passend lackierte Lokomotiven zu kaufen gibt. Will man die SNCT nachbilden, muss man Lokomotiven und Wagen wohl selber lackieren. Zumindest anf\u00e4nglich wurden Ex-BN und MILW Lokomotiven jedoch in ihrer urspr\u00fcnglichen Farbgebung verwendet, wobei die BN-F7s bereits in Cascade Green lackiert waren.<\/p>\n [\/lang_de]<\/p>\n [lang_en]<\/p>\n The Milwaukee Road (the usual name for the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific Railroad) operated a short, isolated line of 50 miles length on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State, between Port Townsend and Port Angeles. It was connected to the rest of the network by barges, which connected Seattle and Port Townsend.<\/p>\n The line was mostly used for transporting lumber. Port Angeles, which also had a small yard, had two sawmills. In Port Townsend, a paper mill was a large client. Lumber was shipped from Sequim, which was also home to a feed mill that received grain shipments from time to time.<\/p>\n The Milwaukee Road had a daily train from Port Angeles to Port Townsend and back. EMD SD7s and SD9s where used as engines. Additionally, switchers (EMD SW) were used at the end points to switch customers and load\/unload the barges.<\/p>\n After the Milwaukee Road’s bankruptcy, the line was taken over by the Seattle & North Coast Railroad. In the beginning, it operated the line using an ex-MILW SD9, which was then replaced by three EMD F7s taken over from Burlington Northern. Three SWs were taken over from the Milwaukee Road. Besides freight, the S&NC also tried getting passenger traffic running again. Unfortunately, the company went bankrupt in 1984 and had to halt all operations in early 1985.<\/p>\n The track was pulled at the end of the 80s, parts of it have been converted into a hiking trail.<\/p>\n Due to its isolation and shortness, this line is well suited for being modeled. Point-to-point operations without staging, as the barges are the “staging”. Port Angeles, Sequim, and Port Townsend should be represented, as well as the famous bridge<\/a> over the Dungeness River.<\/p>\n Two eras are lend themselves to modeling. The Milwaukee Road in den 70ern, and the Seattle & North Coast Anfang der 80er. The former offers the advantage of engines being available in the proper paint scheme. If modeling the SNCT is desired, engines and rolling stock would have to be custom painted. In the beginning at least, ex BN and MILW engines were used in their original paint schemes, with the BN-F7s already being painted Cascade Green lackiert waren.<\/p>\n [\/lang_en]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [lang_de] Vorbild Die Milwaukee Road (der gebr\u00e4uchliche Name f\u00fcr die Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific Railroad) betrieb eine kurze, isolierte Bahnstrecke von 80km L\u00e4nge auf der Olympic Peninsula in Washington State, zwischen Port Townsend und Port Angeles.
