[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by dblstack I'm thinking the Milwaukee Road steam powered, streamlined Hiawatha. That was a train among trains, by anyone's definition. On the run between Milwaukee and Chicago, they had signs posted for the engineer to "Slow to 90 MPH" for a couple of broad, sweeping curves. WIth the exception of the N.E. Corridor, its hard to find a passenger train in the USA at 90-110 MPH nowdays, 80 years later. [/quote] That Sir is also my favorite train. I have a collection of several pictures of that train. The look of that train spoke of power!!! TIM A P.S. The reason they called it the "Milwaukee road". The full name, Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific R.R. was to long and complicated for your average Wisconcinite to write, much less spell correctly. So it was shortend to something that was easy for them to understand.
