The Milwaukee Road – A Lost Minnesota Railroad

At one time, the Milwaukee Road was a transcontinental railroad across the northern United States. Unfortunately, it fell upon bad times and went into bankruptcy. Many states converted the old line into biking or hiking trails. In Minnesota, after several years of neglect, the Twin Cities and Western Railroad purchased portions of the old line, and refurbished them. If you look close enough, there are still a few remnants of the Milwaukee Road left. Come along and discover a few old gems of the railroad, an artifact of the farming industry, and some beautiful Minnesota waterfowl.
