Introducing the other Budd gallery car fleet, first built for Milwaukee Road and Rock Island! Both railroads needed to replace aging commuter equipment, and Milwaukee Road ordered 32 coaches and 8 cab cars in 1961, followed by another order of 10 coaches and 12 cabs in 1964. Milwaukee’s cars ran behind HEP E units and other power in all kinds of consists, including off peak trains with just an E unit and a cab car! Notably, Milwaukee often used their fleet for other services, including Chicago-Milwaukee runs and special charters to Madison, Milwaukee, and more.
