ATLANTIC AND GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY

A Milwaukee Road Local crosses the AGW mainline at Burlington, Wisconsin. The Waukesha Roadswitcher waits in the background for the Milwaukee train to cross so it can return to Waukesha.

AGW #394 passes the massive Miller Brewing Company in West Allis.   Miller brewing is a major shipper for the AGW in Milwaukee. #394 is a through train from Chicago's Arrowhead yard bound for Milwaukee.  It does very limited switching, only picking up or setting out priority cars

This is an overview of West Allis.  Miller Brewing dominates West Allis along with Continental Can and Broshears Packaging. To the right is the Milwaukee engine terminal.  To the left, the main continues to Waukesha.
