It was gone by 1966. The tracks added to the shop building would reduce the need to use the transfer table between the shop buildings.

Milwaukee yards in Miles City. This was a great place to watch trains growing up.
Michael Seitz: Passenger depot is out of frame at the lower right.
Sharon Bennett: My father, Jim Frost, was there as the last man working for the Milwaukee Lines West. Long after the railroad went bankrupt, he continued to oversee the cleanup and final transactions. He was in Miles City from the spring of 1984 until December 1985 recovering diesel fuel that had spilled over for many years. He got his final paycheck in the fall of 1986.
Moe Rademacher: Was trinity rail car when I lived there 20 years ago. May still be.
Bryon Morgan: Moe Rademacher they are run by Transco Railcar now.
John Shontz: Sadly, today this site is state superfund site!
