  • Canadian Rail No162 1965
    <:;an..adi J~mnn Number 162 / Janua r y 1965 Cereal box coupons and soap package enclosures do not general­ ly excite much enthusiasm from the editor of 'Canadian Rail', but we must admit we are looking forward with some eagerness to comp­ leting our collection of RAILWAY MUGS currently being distribut e d by the Quaker Oats Company, in their specially-marked packages of Quaker Oats. This series of twelve hot chocolate mugs depicts the develop - ment of the steam locomotive in Canada from the 0-6-0 "Samson", to the CPR 2-10-4 #8000. The mugs are being offered by the Quaker Oats Company of Cana­ da to salute Canada's Centennial, and the part played by the rail­ ways and their steam locomotives in furthering the pro ~ ress of the nation. Each cup pictures an authentic locomotive design -- one shows a Canadian Northern 2-8-0, a type of locomotive that made a major contribution to the country's prairie economy by moving grain from the Western provinces to the Lakehead -- another shows one of the Canadian Pacific's ubiquitous D-10 engines. There are 12 different locomotives in the series - each a col­ lector's item. The reproductions are precisely etched in decora­ tive colours and trimmed with 22k gold. Canadian Rail Par,e 3 &eee_eIPIrWB __waBS} -- E.L.Modler.

  • Milwaukee Road
    ,­ T E MARC GREEN: -30­ Marc Green, director of information services, retired on March 31, ending a distinguished ca­ reer of 39 years with the Milwaukee Road. For 36 of those years it would be no exaggeration to state that Marc served as the voice of the railroad. Marc joined the Milwaukee in 1936 in the Real Estate Department. He transferred to the Public Relations Department in 1939 as assist­ ant editor of the Milwaukee Road Magazine, one of the railroad industry's oldest employee pub­ lications. Marc became editor in 1940, a post he filled ably and creatively until 1958 when he was named director of publicity. He was appointed director of information services in 1972. During his long career Marc wrote literally millions of words about the Milwaukee Road. His positions in the Public Relations Department provided him with a vantage point afforded to few people who have worked for the railroad. In the magazine, annual reports, countless news releases and an endless procession of other publi­ cations Marc reported the activities of the Mil­ waukee Road during some of the most exciting years of its history. Marc was also active in various professional associations. He is a former president of the American Railroad Magazine Editors Associa­ tion (now the Association of Railroad Editors) ; a member of the Chicago Chapter of the Public Relations Society of America; a member of the Chicago Public Relations Clinic; and a member of the Railroad Public Relations Association. Those who had the privilege of associating with Marc Green know him as a talented writer, a keen observer of the times and a loyal and ded­ icated employee.

    Appendix 6-B: Chronology of Amtrak Service in Wisconsin May 1971: As part of its inaugural system, Amtrak operates five daily round trips in the Chicago- Milwaukee corridor over the Milwaukee Road main line.
