Book excerpt: The true grit and glory days of one of America's greatest railroads come to dramatic life in this full-scale illustrated history by industry veteran Tom Murray. Words and pictures carry readers across the vast tracts of land and time traversed by the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific-better known to history as the Milwaukee Road. Ranging from the railroad's late-nineteenth-century beginnings to its purchase by onetime rival Soo Line in 1985, the book looks at The Milwaukee Road's famed streamlined Hiawatha passenger trains, the "Little Joe" electric locomotives, and the sprawling fabrication and repair facilities in its namesake city. Whether surveying the railroad's routes and the trains that plied them, and the people who worked behind the scenes, or focusing on the line's motive power, rolling stock, passenger and freight operations, The Milwaukee Road provides a broad-scale, brilliantly detailed portrait of a great railroad, an industry, and a bygone era.

This book was released on 2023-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with the Milwaukee Road's attempt to remain viable as a major carrier in the early 1900's by launching an extension to Puget Sound in Washington state. As well as the main line to Seattle-Tacoma, the book covers feeders such as the Hanford, Everett, Enumclaw, Grays Harbor and Olympic Peninsula branches, the Tacoma Eastern, Bellingham Bay & British Columbia, Puget Sound & Willapa Harbor and Milwaukee Terminal, which sought to provide sufficient tonnage to make the extension financially successful. Shortly after completing construction, the decision was made to electrify the main line, making it one of the major such projects in the United States. The traffic never seemed to warrant such an extravagance, and the Milwaukee Road went into receivership in 1925 and again during the Great Depression. World War II saw traffic reach new highs as traffic moved to the Pacific front, but the Milwaukee continued to experience difficulty in competing with its competitors, the Great Northern, Northern Pacific and Union Pacific. This situation was exacerbated by the merger of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific in 1970. Although merger protections opened up new gateways such as Portland, Oregon to the Milwaukee, the road was still unable to sustain itself, and the Coast Division was abandoned in 1980 as part of a drastic economy move.
Download or read book Classic Restaurants of Milwaukee written by Jennifer Billock and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2020-11-02 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Milwaukee may be known for beer, brats and custard, but the city's food history is even richer and tastier. At the Public Natatorium, diners supped at an old public pool and watched a dolphin show at the same time. Solly's, Oriental Drugs and others nurtured a thriving lunch counter culture that all ages enjoyed. Supper clubs and steakhouses like Five O'Clock reigned supreme. And we can't forget about the more illicit side of Milwaukee meals, like the mafia hangouts and a local fast-food chain with a mysterious resemblance to a national brand. Pairing the history of classic restaurants with recipes of favorite dishes, author Jennifer Billock explores both the well-known and the quirkier sides of Milwaukee's dining past.
