From 1947-1961, the Milwaukee Road Olympian Hiawatha ran passenger excursions between Chicago and the Pacific Northwest, operated by the Chicago, Milwaukee, and St. Paul and Pacific Railroad.
The Olympian Hiawatha took scheduled excursions through scenic Idaho, Montanas Bitterroot Mountains, and Washingtons Cascade range. On June 29, 1947, the Milwaukee Road inaugurated its streamlined flagship on a 43-hour, 30-minute schedule. This was advertised as being a speedliner. The railroad contracted industrial designer Brooks Stevens to design the train consist, which included some unique and signature cars of the Milwaukee Road.
In 1952, the first full-length Super Dome cars were added, which included 68 dome seats and 28 lounge seats. The dome area featured seats positioned lengthwise, facing the 625 square foot double-pane windows. Ideal for insulation, and sightseeing.
Passenger Car Features:
- All new uniquely tooled cars for the Hiawatha train.
- Each car is equipped with low flange wheels and KATO magnetic knuckle couplers.
- the Post 1952 Super Dome and Distinctive Tail car will be exquisitely modeled with full maroon interiors and flush windows.
Customer Reviews
I have ordered from these folks several times. My order was shipped quickly and any questions I had have always been answered promptly
The Kato N Scale Milwaukee Road Olympian Hiawatha 9-Car Set looks amazing, and really great price, I was skeptical about buying this from online as I've been burned by fake sites in the past. This one actually came through. The packing was amazing, far exceeded my expectations, and far better than what amazon does when packing something to be shipped. This company will have my future business.
