Marquette (Milwaukee Road train)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Marquette was a passenger train operated by the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad ("Milwaukee Road") between Chicago and Mason City, Iowa.[1] Service began in 1937, and was discontinued January 14, 1951.[2][3][4][5] Despite the elimination of the Marquette, the line continued to see service by the Sioux until 1960, when that service was cut back to Madison, Wisconsin.[6]
