| Ronald Kaminen posted Brings back memories.!! I worked in this station back in 1954 as a mail and baggage handler. It was fun meeting trains at night loading mail and seeing the 400's during the day.!! [400's were C&NW trains, but I had to look at a lot of comments before I found that this was the Milwaukee station.] |

| Marty Bernard posted This is the last of Rick Burn's CNW "400" slides -- Train 160, The Streamliner 400 at Milwaukee, WI in December 1960. Marty Bernard shared Jason Moors: At the time, one had 3 choices on how to get to Chicago--the Milwaukee Road,the C&NW or the CNS&M--was the Streamliner 400 merely a corridor run between Milwaukee and Chicago? Of the roads, which had the most departures to choose from? Jon Roma: Jason Moors, the North Shore hands down. They had hourly service between Chicago and Milwaukee. |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Marty's post The clock tower is obviously part of the C&NW Depot's headhouse. The headhouse was east of Marshall St. along the south side of Wisconsin Ave. (The layout of the streets in this area was different back then.) 1958 Milwaukee Quadrangle @ 1:24,000 |
