The Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacificmore commonly known as The Milwaukee Roadwas one of America's truly great railways, serving much of the Midwest :and West for more than a century until its purchase in 1985 by one-time rival Soo Line. Noted for its streamlined Hiawatha passenger trains, The Milwaukee Road also earned acclaim for its electrified Pacific Extension and its fabrication and repair shops in its namesake city.
In this wonderfully illustrated history, author Tom Murray examines The Milwaukee Road's motive power, passenger and freight operations, facilities, and financial woes, not to mention its roots dating to a collective of Wisconsin granger roads. Murray also draws on numerous archives and individual photographers from around the country to illustrate the varied scope of The Milwaukee Road, from the Windy City to Puget Sound.
