 Cover: The Cascade
Mountain scene on this month's cover, the work of Ralph
Frederick, a Chicago artist known for his railroad subjects,
is the attractive water color which illustrated the
Milwaukee Road advertisement, "Conquering Time and Terrain",
when it appeared in national magazines some time back, It
has recently been on the newsstands again, also in full
color, as the cover of the February issue of
RaiIroad
Magazine, "The Magazine of Adventurous Railroading." The
scene, typical of the Milwaukee's winter operations in
mountain territory, is the artist's impression of the region
around Lake Keechelus, Wash.

Cover" It's early morning at South Minneapolis yard, and
Freight Conductor Gordon Ganske gives Engineer John Dragseth
copies of the orders for their train, and the two men check
their watches before departure of No. 91 westbound.
Conductor Ganske had earlier checked his own watch against
the standard clock in the yard office. After the watch check
and a brief discussion of the orders, Engineer Dragseth
repeated the discussion with the head end brakeman, James
Shea (in cab) and the fireman. This ritual is almost as old
as railroading, having been found essential to the safe
operation of any train-freight or passenger.

Cover: There's an appealing
warmth to this odd-angle view of a shepard and his sheep
crossing the largest dam in the world -- the Grand Coulee in
Washington State.
It's a "must go" for vacationers, including those on the
Milwaukee Road's Olympian Hiawatha disembarking in Spokane. |

 Cover: WINDOWS on the
world . . . a world of travel delights. Nothing on the
railroads today offers vacationing America a
mountaintop-to-canyon-floor view comparable to that from the
unique Skytop Lounge of the Olympian Hiawatha. The camera
picks up a few of the Skytop Lounge windows in an odd-angle
view for a June cover design.

Cover:
ROUNDING a curve of the Jefferson River, the Olympian
Hiawatha describes a graceful loop as it follows the trail
of the Indian and pioneer through primitive Lewis and Clark
country. Jefferson Canyon, on the boundaries of the Gallatin
and Deer Lodge National Forests, provides a view from the
Super Dome of some of Montana's most awesome vacation
scenery. About five miles west of the canyon, high in the
Tobacco Root
Mountains, is
the famed Lewis and Clark Caverns
in the Jefferson River Canyon of Montana.

A freight train has pulled into the yard at Deer Lodge,
Mont., and it is inspection time for Car Inspectors Emil
Erickson (left) and Frank Dunton.
THE MILWAUKEE ROAD'S new automatic freight classification
yard at St. Paul, as well as smaller but highly important
yard facilities at Council Bluffs, la., and Othello, Wash.,
were either completed or nearing completion as this issue of
the Magazine went to press. .... 3

Cover:The
aerial view of St. Paul Yard appearing on the cover of this
issue was taken in a general easterly direction to show the
"business end" of the first automatic classification yard on
any railroad in the Twin Cities area. The tower at the crest
of the yard appears in the upper central area, while the
retarders are shown near the center of the picture and the
classification track fan-out in
in the
foreground. At the right, casting dark shadows on the
ground, long strings of cars stand on the eastbound
receiving and westbound departure track!. At the extreme
left the three nearest tracks are for eastbound departure,
while the four westbound receiving tracks are out of picture
range at the top.
This picture was taken for Meyer
Machine, Inc., of Red Wing, Minn., manufacturer of the five
100 foot towers from which the central classification area
is lighted.
