- MILW E29 EF-3 GE/Alco
- Milwaukee Road E29 in the Tacoma Tide Flats yard in July 1973. I had previously called these mud flats, George Andrews said, "although mud can still be found in copious amounts, the area is actually referred to as "The Tide Flats", as was The Milwaukee Road yard in Tacoma. The former yard area is now a large Maersk-Sealand container facility."

- MILW SG-1 SLUG
- Slugs get there power from an external source, a diesel locomotive. So you might think of SG-1 as another type of Milwaukee Road "electric locomotive" in the Tacoma tide flats in July 1973. According to L. A. Scrafford, "The SG-1 was built from an Alco RS3 (463) and was called the "Twinkie". It was usually mated with U28B's or U30B's and was used mainly on the old Tacoma Eastern Line to Morton."
