The abandoned railbed to the north once carried the tracks of the Chicago,Milwaukee, and St. Paul Railroad. In its heyday, the railroad known as the "Old Milwaukee" operated over ten thousand miles of routes in a dozen states. This unique rail line managed to play many roles at onetime. To some, it was a speedway for mail and passenger trains on the Chicago-Milwaukee-Minneapolis route. To the farmers of the northern prairie and the loggers of the western forests, the Milwaukee was a"granger," or a network of branch lines that carried raw materials to the marketplace. At one time, the company was the only railroad with a main line running from Chicago to the Pacific Northwest. The Milwaukee road had many unique aspects. In addition to the usual right of way roadbeds, tracks, and communications power lines, the Milwaukee sported large brick power substations. Electrification of the Milwaukee set an industry standard. Unlike urban streetcar lines, which used electric traction for smoke abatement reasons, the Milwaukee converted for long~range savings in operating costs. The distinctive engines reached to the powerlines with tall, folding pantographs, and bore powerful names like "Thunderhawk." The abandonment of the western lines in 1980 was accompanied by regret and speculation about the factors that toppled a vital member of many Montana communities. Brick depots, electrical substations, and picturesque tunnels remain as witnesses to the passage of the hold Milwaukee Road.
