“The Pacific Northwest is the most amazing region of America,” opens this 52-page booklet issued at a time when the Milwaukee Road was recovering from bankruptcy. While I’m sure people in other parts of the West, not to mention Alaska, would dispute that, the more than three dozen crisp black-and-white photos plus numerous graphics used throughout this booklet help make the case.

The end papers at the front of the booklet have a beautiful drawing of the Olympian pulled by an electric locomotive through Sixteen Mile Canyon (although the Milwaukee called it “Montana Canyon”), while the end papers at the back feature a drawing of Mount Rainier. In between are loving descriptions of Spokane, Seattle, Tacoma, Portland, Mount Rainier, the ill-fated Mount Baker Lodge, and other sights along the way.

Despite the “and Alaska” in the title, only a couple of photos and three pages of text deal with that territory, and the most of that concentrates on transportation to and within the future 49th state. Canadian Pacific and Canadian National steamships from Vancouver are mentioned, along with the Alaska and Pacific steamship companies, which embarked from Seattle. It also mentions the Alaska Railroad, White Pass & Yukon Railway, and the Copper River and Northwestern Railway, the latter of which was founded by Michael Heney, the same engineer who built the White Pass railway.
The White Pass and Copper River railways both ended up making a lot of money for their investors. Maybe it is too bad that Heney didn’t work for the Milwaukee. Most people blame the Milwaukee’s demise on poor management, but a big part of the railroad’s problem was that construction of its extension to the Pacific Northwest ended up costing at least four times the original projections. A good engineer might have prevented that.
