By 1948, the Milwaukee Road had more than 40,000 employees and maintained more than 10,000 miles of line in twelve states from Indiana to Washington.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlso in 1948, August Derleth's popular and well-crafted corporate history celebrated the strength and status of this mighty carrier. On February 19, 1985, the railroad became a subsidiary of Soo Line Corporation and its identity vanished overnight. Nonetheless, it remains a romantic memory, and Derleth's book remains the only complete history of this innovative and dynamic railroad.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e August Derleth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0877458014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780877458012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Iowa Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/16\/1969\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.44h x 6.16w x 0.80d","brand":"August Derleth","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44054314811647,"sku":"9780877458012","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_438c2daa-a5c5-4f6d-8702-2704748827a9.jpg?v=1685029241","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-milwaukee-road-august-derleth-9780877458012","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
