Description

The Olympian Hiawatha was a legendary passenger train service operated by The Milwaukee Road; it was the successor to the Olympian passenger train which ran from 1911 to 1947. The Olympian Hiawatha itself ran from 1947 to 1961. In 1955, the Milwaukee Road announced that they would operate Union Pacific streamliners between Chicago and Omaha. This meant that the Hiawatha would be painted in Union Pacific’s Armor Yellow colors. In 1956, the line was officially “partnered with Union Pacific” as they navigated the next couple years competing with both airline and automobile travel. The Hiawatha train wore the UP colors into the sunset as The Afternoon Hiawatha ran up until January 23, 1970. The next year, The Morning Hiawatha service was also discontinued and replaced by Amtrak lines.
