The Milwaukee Road

I stand corrected regarding mileage Twin Cities to Seattle. Although I haven't checked MM's numbers, I'll take his word for it. Milwaukee was only marginally shorter than GN, and after the BN merger the Milwaukee route was actually longer. Yet the Milwaukee schedules were faster even after the BN merger, and BN's operating costs over the mountain districts were apparently higher. How can that be? <br /> <br />Not quite sure what the Missoula-Spokane mileages have to do with anything. For the Milwaukee the only trains that used that routing were the passenger trains, and I have no interest in that. A more relevent example would be Missoula to Seattle. I don't suppose you have the relevant mileages and operating schedules Milwaukee vs BN on that segment, do you?
