The mighty Rockies, the Belt and
the Bitter Roots have bowed their
heads before the onward progress of
|,nan-aud the worlds commerce and
travel move uninterruptably across
their rugged slopes transported by
the forces of the mountains them
selves Giant electric locomotives,
whose only fuel is the limitless power
generated from mountain cataracts,
lift the great all-steel trains of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul Rail-
way across the ramparts of the Great
Continental Divide as if grades did
not exist.
And now another great mountain
range, the snow-c capped Cascades N
Washington, is being made to yield its
treasure store of energy to serve the
needs of man. Soon the bark of the
steam locomotive will be stilled there,
for the work of electrifying the I'll
miles of main line through this range
is well under way. When this sec
ton, is completed the Milwaukee" will
have 651 miles of its main transconti-
mental line under electrical operation.
| Mountain travel is given new
charm no smudge of smoke paints
its, dirty line across snow clad vistas
travel is easy, smooth, silent, and
clean.
