520 1 $a"From its incorporation in 1847 in Wisconsin Territory to its first run in 1851 - twenty miles between Milwaukee and Waukesha - to its later position of far-flung power, the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific Railroad Company had a vivid history. By 1948, the Milwaukee Road had more than 40,000 employees and maintained more than 10,000 miles of line in twelve states from Indiana to Washington.".
520 8 $a"Also in 1948, August Derleth's popular and well-crafted corporate history celebrated the strength and status of this mighty carrier. On February 19, 1985, the railroad became a subsidiary of Soo Line Corporation and its identity vanished overnight. Nonetheless, it remains a romantic memory, and Derleth's book remains a complete history of this innovative and dynamic railroad."--BOOK JACKET.
