New Hiawathas Are Rollin’!
Call it classic. Call it simple. I just really admire this vintage advertisement.
Likely set for a magazine, full page, it captures the height of travel by rail.
And it shares what travel aboard one of the Milwaukee Road 16 streamlined Hiawathas had to offer. Yes, sir! A ride in one of those classic Skytop observations, rolling the miles by between Chicago and Seattle. Hiawatha-land.
Sometimes simple works best.
Is the ‘Skytop Observation’ car the one shown to the right?
Yes, that’s the Skytop!
