Electrification expands Milwaukee main line over the Rockies
The Chicago Milwaukee and St Paul Railway inaugurates 440 miles of main line electrification from Harlowton Montana to Avary Idaho along the Great Continental Divide. Power from Great Falls hydro plants travels via 100000 volt AC to 14 substations, stepped to 3000 volts for locomotives. Generative braking cuts energy use on downgrades, improving efficiency, schedules, ride, and smoke-free operation.
