Electrification of Milwaukee line ties with Panama Canal feat
The article links two grand 20th century feats the electrification of 440 miles of the Chicago Milwaukee & St Paul main line from Harlowton Montana to Avery Idaho across the continental divide and the digging of the Panama Canal. It argues the Milwaukee electrification marks a new era in transcontinental railroading improving travel comfort and cutting costs using hydro power, while praising Panama Canal as a second monumental achievement. It urges readers to travel on the Olympian or Columbian and contact the railway for literature.
