Book excerpt: The true grit and glory days of one of America's greatest railroads come to dramatic life in this full-scale illustrated history by industry veteran Tom Murray. Words and pictures carry readers across the vast tracts of land and time traversed by the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific-better known to history as the Milwaukee Road. Ranging from the railroad's late-nineteenth-century beginnings to its purchase by onetime rival Soo Line in 1985, the book looks at The Milwaukee Road's famed streamlined Hiawatha passenger trains, the "Little Joe" electric locomotives, and the sprawling fabrication and repair facilities in its namesake city. Whether surveying the railroad's routes and the trains that plied them, and the people who worked behind the scenes, or focusing on the line's motive power, rolling stock, passenger and freight operations, The Milwaukee Road provides a broad-scale, brilliantly detailed portrait of a great railroad, an industry, and a bygone era.

Book Synopsis The Nation Pays Again by : Thomas H. Ploss
Download or read book The Nation Pays Again written by Thomas H. Ploss and published by Thomas M. Ploss. This book was released on 1986 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE NATION PAYS AGAIN (3rd Ed., 1991) is a sequel to Lowenthal's classic THE INVESTIGATOR PAYS (1933) in that it carries forward the history of the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific Railroad Company from the end of its first bankruputcy in 1928, Lowenthal's subject, to the end of its third & the annihilation in 1986. The author, formerly a staff attorney for the railroad, gives personal witness to events from the day he joins the firm in 1966 through twenty years of drama. He reports the momentous discoveries made in the headquarters of the railroad's bitter rival proving illegal conspiracy to "Kill MILW," & the government's failure to protect its investment in the Milwaukee Road's ability to compete. The story records the sad repetition of all Lowenthal inveighed against in wasteful bankruptcy practices as the system is broken up & sold off, huge profits going to the trustee & his friends. The Lexington Newsletter, a historian's guide, recommended "should be read by all seriously interested in the history of U.S. railroads since World War II."
