  • ON the OLYMPIAN HIAWATHA and on the TWIN CITIES HIAWATHAS It's Long, Luxurious and All Yours
    RoadJ A S ON THE OLYMPIAN HIAWATHA AND ON THE TWIN CITIES HIAWATHAS It's long, luxurious and all yours. Everyone aboard the Hiawathas is cordially invited to come up into the Super Dome for a brand new outlook over some of our country's most delightful scenery. What is your pleosure-a soft drink, a sandwich, a cocktail? Nome it ond it's yours in the delightful Cafe Lounge. Placed on the lower deck of the Super Dome car, this room is well below normal floor level. Since the 1935 inaugural run of the first Twin Cities HIAWATHA between Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul-Minneapolis, these Milwaukee Road speed­ liners have consistently ranked among America's favorite traips. The Hiawatha fleet has grown in numbers and has been improved again and again. All of these trains are outstanding in offering the general qualities of speed, smoothness, silence and beauty that help make travel delightful. With scores of engineering innovations to their credit, the Hiawathas have also pioneered significant advances in car design. Among these-and still unique features of Milwaukee Road Speedliners-are glass-enclosed Sky­ top Lounges, and the exclusive Touralux sleepers that combine berth comfort and privacy with lower cost. Beginning with the 1st of January 1953, the Olympian HIAWATHA and the Twin Cities HIAWATHAS are again presenting something brand new, different and delightful-the Super Dome cars pictured and described for you in this brochure. Giant electric locomotives are used for 656 mountain miles. Almost entirely enclosed in glass and rising 15}/z famous Dells, the "driftless area" with its rocky feet above the rails, the Super Dome is a glorious outcrops, the palisaded valley of the mighty observation point.
