Description: The "Overland Route" was a passenger train operated jointly by the Southern Pacific (SP), Union Pacific (UP) and Milwaukee railroads, between Chicago and San Francisco. It was one of the more popular ways to cross the country, as the railroads used their best equipment on the run. The Milwaukee handled the train between Chicago and Omaha, the UP between Omaha and Ogden, and the SP from Ogden to San Francisco. For auction is a great brochure on this train. Dated 1961, it is essentially a strip map of the route, with descriptions of all communities through which the train passed. For each town, there is a snippet on its history, economy or natural features, and its altitude. 1961 Overland Route- SP Southern Pacific, UP Union Pacific, Milwaukee railroads Click images to enlarge Description The "Overland Route" was a passenger train operated jointly by the Southern Pacific (SP), Union Pacific (UP) and Milwaukee railroads, between Chicago and San Francisco.
