Vintage Hiawatha/Milwaukee Road Train Posters are a great way to decorate your living space in an American railroading and nostalgic theme. The Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific) railroad (or Milwaukee Road) began as the Milwaukee and Waukesha railroad in 1847. In 1874, the name was changed to the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad. Following the completion of a transcontinental extension to the Pacific Northwest in 1909, the name was changed to the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific. The shorter name, the Milwaukee Road, was added in 1927. The streamlined passenger train, the Hiawatha, was first introduced in 1935, running between Chicago and the Twin Cities. Eventually, there were three versions of the Hiawatha that ran on the Wilwaukee Road's main line, the Twin Cities Hiawatha, the Midwest Hiawatha (to Souix Falls and Omaha, 1938), and the Olympian Hiawatha (to Seattle/Tacoma, 1947), as well as two running on spur routes (North Woods and Chippewa). After taking over passenger rail service in 1971, Amtrak ran the North Coast Hiawatha train between Chicago and Seattle, combining the names of the Northern Pacific's North Coast Limited and the Milwaukee Road's Hiawatha, but it was cancelled in 1979.
