Sat., Feb. 18, 2023 Passengers on a Milwaukee Road train spent a cold and frightening two days trapped in a tunnel at Snoqualmie Pass, the Spokesman-Review reported on Feb. 18, 1923.

From our archives, 100 years ago Two Milwaukee Road passenger trains crashed head-on seven miles west of Lind, killing one of the engineers and two “unidentified tramps” riding on the engine.

The new trains were known for their speed and stylish design. Milwaukee Road was so successful with these new cars that they introduced more Hiawatha equipment in 1936, 1937, 1938 and 1942.
