This day in Railroad History
June 15, 1974
Engineer Bill Lintz sat in the locker room of the roundhouse in the Deer Lodge Yard and quietly wrote out his "Locomotive Inspection Report". "Brakes and brake rigging - good; bell ringer - good; sanders, train signal system, horns and windshield wipers - good.". He left the "Repairs Needed" space blank. He signed the report, talked with a writer about different types of engines, for a few minutes, said hello to the rail buffs outside the roundhouse, and, puffing his pipe, headed home. Engineer Lintz and his crew had just ended an era. At 9:10, that Saturday morning, they had tied up #264S13 in the Yard and officially ended 58 years, 6 month and 16 days of main line electrified operation on the Milwaukee Road.
