CHICAGO MILWAUKEE
ST. PAUL
AND PACIFIC
For 656 miles - nearly one-third of the dis- tance from Seattle to Chicago-a gleaming trolley sends a flash of power into speeding Milwaukee trains. The Cascades, in Washington, are conquered in one unbroken stretch of 216 miles of electri- fied roadway. In Idaho and Montana, for 440 miles, these electrical trains sweep up and down the grades of three mountain ranges.
The Milwaukee leads in this modern method of transportation and travelers reap the bene- fit of more comfortable, cleaner trains, fewer delays in cold weather and storms. Take the Milwaukee, modern way, East.
