The Last Transcontinental Railroad

The Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway's Pacific Extension survived for 71 colorful years. Racing silk trains sped along the route, and long, rumbling troop trains carried men and materiel through four wars.

The Milwaukee's famed electric locomotives hosted presidents and celebrities and showcased the streamlined Olympian Hiawatha passenger train.

The Route of the Hiawatha Rail-Trail, traces the most costly and difficult to build section of the railroad from Chicago to Tacoma.

Today, thousands enjoy traveling over this scenic, historic trail helping keep alive the spirit of the Milwaukee Road.
