Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad (The Milwaukee Road) Heavy Knit Quarter-Zip Sweatshirt
Layer up with Milwaukee Road pride in a quarter-zip sweatshirt inspired by one of America’s great railroad names. The Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad connected Midwest cities with the Pacific Northwest and became famous for its electric operations and Hiawatha passenger trains. Its story stretches from an 1847 Wisconsin incorporation through the Pacific Extension and 1986 merger into Soo Line. Made for cool rail excursions, train shows, and everyday heritage style.
The Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad, widely known as the Milwaukee Road, grew from the Milwaukee and Waukesha Railroad, incorporated in Wisconsin in 1847. Renamed the Milwaukee and Mississippi Railroad in 1850, it opened its first five-mile line between Milwaukee and Wauwatosa on November 20 that year, then reached Prairie du Chien on the Mississippi River in 1857. After receivership, its successors were combined in 1867 as the Milwaukee and St. Paul; the name changed to Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway in 1874 after a Chicago extension opened in 1872. The railroad built its Pacific Extension to Seattle and Tacoma between 1906 and 1909 and adopted its final corporate name during reorganization in 1928. Its Hiawatha passenger trains became a defining part of its identity. Financial strain led to the end of Pacific Extension operations west of Miles City, Montana, in 1980. The remaining system merged into Soo Line Railroad on January 1, 1986; Soo Line later became part of Canadian Pacific.
