Biography/History
Commonly referred to as the "Milwaukee Road" (or simply "The Road"), the origins of
this railroad began in 1847, when the Milwaukee and Waukesha Railroad was
incorporated. Three years later its first train operated between Milwaukee and
Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, and by 1857, its track reached Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin. In
February 1874, the name changed to the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway as
it continued to expand throughout the Midwest. By 1887, it reached into Iowa and
South Dakota, as far west as Kansas City, Missouri, and north into the Upper
Peninsula of Michigan.
In 1905, the Milwaukee Road decided to expand west again, this time to Puget Sound in
Washington. The "Lines West" were built between 1906-1909, from the middle of South
Dakota to Seattle and Tacoma in Washington. Even though the lines were technological
marvels, they were never successful, and were a major contributor to the bankruptcy
in 1925. In 1928 the Road reorganized as the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul &
Pacific Railroad, but went bankrupt again in 1935 and 1945. In 1977, in financial
trouble once more, it reorganized and sold off two-thirds of its trackage. It was
acquired by the Soo Line Corp. on February 21, 1985, which operated it as the
Milwaukee Road, Inc. until merging it with their own lines on January 1, 1986.
Scope and Content Note
This collection is comprised of records pertaining to predecessor and subsidiary
lines of the Milwaukee Road. The Road may or may not have bought all of these
companies, but were most likely involved with them in some capacity. Not all of the
companies listed are railroads; coal, oil, timber, and other companies are present
as well. The materials primarily contain meeting minutes, articles of incorporation,
by-laws, and account ledgers, but other records are also included such as stock
information, reports, agreements, correspondence, and land information. Much of the
materials are in ledger or volume form. Other Milwaukee Road collections may also
contain various predecessor company records.
Arrangement of the Materials
The collection is in alphabetical order by company name.
Other Finding Aids
The Employe's Hire Roster in Box 46 was
indexed by Leonard Holston. It contains information on Milwaukee Road employees.
Most of the entries have only basic information, but some contain additional
details.
