Cover:One of
the Milwaukee Road's new portable radar sets is being used
here to clock speeds of freight cars as they move from the
hump at Bensenville Yard through retarders and into
classification tracks. John Dominick, freight service
inspector, is reading speeds from the meters shown. Radio
signals sent from a bullet-shaped antenna are reflected from
freight cars, converted to mile-on-hour speeds and then
shown on the meters. For the story, see page 11.

Among the Milwaukee Road's most heavily patronized summer
package tours, and which are being repeated this year, are
its one-day week end excursions to the Wisconsin Dells and
to historic Galena, "Little Switzerland" of Illinois.
During the 1967 vacation season, both of these were
operated to capacity. Our cover is a scene on the Lower
Dells of the Wisconsin River, famous for natural beauty and
unique rock formations, which is viewed by Dells
excursionists.
