John Kelly explores the fascinating history of the city's railroads, starting with the Milwaukee & Waukesha in 1847. By 1873 the Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway-later the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific (The Milwaukee Road) opened a line to Chicago and the railroad was on its way.
 
The Milwaukee Shops and the Hiawatha legend and the story behind designer Brooks Stevens, are also featured. Kelly also supplies copious data on the Chicago & NorthWestern's freight and passenger service, including the 400 fleet and much more.
