MILW 101C West, Olympian Hiawatha Number 15, Ixonia, WI. MAR 1959 Edited b

With an on-time departure out of Chicago Union Station one hundred and twenty seven miles ago, The Milwaukee Road's Tacoma bound Olympian Hiawatha number 15, was captured by an unknown photographer approaching Watertown on their LaCrosse Division. First class travelers are enjoying the view from one of the Pullman built Creek series sleeper observations, as they are swept up in the romance of rail travel. In 2,100 miles, the Olympian will arrive in Tacoma, Washington after traversing through the forests of the midwest, the great plains, and mountains of the west.
