A historical discussion list for fans and modelers of the Chicago Milwaukee St. Paul & Pacific Railroad - aka "The Milwaukee Road". The Milwaukee Road was famous for its many superb passenger trains and popularly known by its "The Route of the Hiawathas" moniker. The far western end of the system (Montana, Idaho and Washington) once boasted hundreds of miles of electrified mainline operations. Rolling stock received the Association of American Railroads (AAR) designated reporting marks "MILW". Today, many years after purchase by Soo Line (a subsidiary of Canadian Pacific Railway) in 1985, freight cars can still be spotted proudly bearing "MILWAUKEE ROAD" on their flanks. PLEASE keep discussions related to the period PRIOR TO the 1985 sale. Current operations over former MILW lines by other railroads is not relevant to this list.
