In 1941, Milwaukee Road built two 95-ton well-hole flatcars in its company shops. These cars were primarily used to transport hydroelectric turbine components produced by Allis-Chalmers in Milwaukee, WI. As the cars aged, it was determined that they needed structural repairs in order to remain in service, and so both cars received reinforcements to their sides—601003 in 1968, and 601004 in 1969. The reinforcements were similar to each other, but each car was unique. The cars then both had their trucks converted to roller bearings in 1973. The trucks themselves were different between cars: PCMP #3019-01 represents the trucks on 601003, and PCMP #3019-02 represents the trucks on 601004. The two PCMP kits represent the cars in their rebuilt 1968/69+ configurations. At the time of writing, we do not know exactly when the MILW cars were removed from service, but it is likely that they ran until approximately 1981, when they reached 40 years old.
