	Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Milwaukee Road, officially the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad (CMSPandP RR) (AAR reporting mark MILW), was a Class I railroad that operated in the midwest and northwest of the United States from 1847 until its acquisition by the Soo Line railway on January 1, 1986.
		The Milwaukee soon found that operation of steam locomotives over the mountain passes was difficult, with winter temperatures that reached -40°F. Electrification seemed to be the answer, especially with abundant hydro-electric power in the mountains and a ready source of copper on-line at Anaconda, Montana.
		Almost immediately, the road filed with the ICC to be included in the Union Pacific merger with the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad.

	Watertown Plank Road
		The building of roads to open the country for settlement and military purposes was one of the first concerns of the settlers and the government.
		The road was to be constructed of timber and plank, "so that the same form a hard, smooth and even surface," from Milwaukee to Watertown or any part of the way.
		Contracts for the actual construction of the road were let in October of 1848, and work was in full swing by the next month, though the amount of cash on hand, due to the installment payment plan for stock subscriptions, was probably between $12,000 and $13,000.

	Milwaukee Road: at Cedar Falls (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
		For many years the "Milwaukee and Mississippi Railroad" (as it was called then) was just a regional railroad connecting the city of Milwaukee (on the shore of Lake Michigan) and the adjoining regions of the state of Wisconsin to Chicago and St. Paul, and thereby to the rest of the country.
		The Milwaukee Road was built to be the shortest, fastest, and lowest-cost route to the Northwest, with easier grades and curves than the Great Northern and Northern Pacific.
		The roadbed of Milwaukee Road's main line from Cedar Falls east is now the John Wayne Pioneer Trail, said to be named after the actor because he exemplified some of the values that made the West great.

	Steamtown NHS: Special History Study
		The trials and tribulations, rise and fall of its fortunes, and the long decline of the Milwaukee Road is a story documented elsewhere, as is the story of its partial electrification and ultimate replacement of its remaining steam locomotives with diesel-electrics.
		The Milwaukee Road numbered them as 16 three-unit sets in the series 90 through 105, designating the individual units within each set with the letters "A," "B," and "C" (which is an entirely separate use of those letters from the aforementioned designating of cab units as "A" units and cabless units as "B" units).
		As mentioned earlier, the Milwaukee Road was the third and last of the three northern "transcontinentals" to be completed, and by the 1970s it was failing to compete successfully with the Burlington Northern.

	Milwaukee Road #1
		It seemed apropos to the Milwaukee Road at the time; the years haven’t dimmed its ability to tug at the heart.
		The Milwaukee begged inclusion in the BN to the ICC in 1975, a request denied two years later; nine months after that, the Milwaukee Road declared its final bankruptcy.
		And their memories don’t include perhaps the best memories of all: Milwaukee Road’s dedicated employees, the glue that held this railroad together when it was disintegrating under mismanagement and disinterest--the proudest group of railroaders I’ve ever met, certainly the most optimistic.
