Milwaukee firm plans transcontinental line to the coast
A Chicago Milwaukee and St Paul route may cross western farms and mountains from Chamberlain to the coast. The plan includes terminals at Bellingham and Seattle, with a White River Valley company to be absorbed by Milwaukee. The line would pass through Sundance Pass into Wyoming, tapping Deadwood and Maitland mining districts and boosting Mitchell as a wholesale center.
