Chartered in 1849, the Milwaukee Road eventually extended its tracks across the northern tier of the United States to the Pacific Ocean. Noted for its innovative electric motive power and passenger service, the line’s successes were overshadowed by weak management and strong competition. By Spring 1982, all Milwaukee lines from the West Coast to Minnesota had been abandoned, and in 1986 remaining Midwest lines were absorbed into the Soo Line. Today CP Rail operates what remains.

Cross the continent and share the drama of “high iron” on Class I freight lines like BNSF and Norfolk Southern, and Union Pacific, but high-stepping regionals like Florida Central and Green Mountain are featured, too. Rails still move people, as Amtrak and Florida’s Railrunner demonstrate, while classic steam is here on the Cumbres & Toltec clearing Colorado snow. Railroading! includes commentary describing featured railroads, rolling stock, and 24 full-color photographs. All aboard!

Southern Pacific Railroad began with a simple idea: to connect San Francisco and San Diego, California, by rail. A century later, Southern Pacific had become one of the largest railroads in America, with lines that stretched from coast to coast (connecting to New York via Morgan Line steamships) and from the south to the northwest. In 1959, SP moved more ton-miles of freight than any other U.S. railroad. Engines featured here reach back to the era of SP steam, and forward to the diesels of the 1970s.

The Union Pacific pioneered transcontinental rail service. Eventually, running freight through half of America meant long consists hauled by some of the largest locomotives ever built. Reaching back to the end of the steam era, Union Pacific pictures giants ranging from the unique Union Pacific Type 4-12-2, the 4-8-8-4 Big Boy, a heavyweight Harriman Pacific Type 4-6-2, and beyond steam to innovative gas-electric turbines and the computer-controlled, diesel-electric EMD SD60. Roll on!
