The Olympian Hiawatha ran through scenic Idaho, Montana's Bitterroot Mountains and Washington's Cascade range. This was advertised as being a "speedliner." The railroad contracted industrial designer Brooks Stevens to design the train consist, which included some unique and signature cars of the Milwaukee Road. In 1952, the first full-length "Super Dome" cars were added, which included 68 dome seats and 28 lounge seats. The dome area featured seats positioned lengthwise, facing the 625 square foot double-pane windows - ideal for sightseeing yet insulated for harsh weather. The Olympian Hiawatha was a favorite of many travelers during the post-war travel boom and continued to operate into 1961. In 1955 change came to the train in the form of its color scheme. The Milwaukee Road reached an agreement with Union Pacific to host its trains between Omaha and Chicago.

The new scheme was economical to apply and maintain, so Milwaukee adopted it for passenger locos and cars systemwide. This Olympian Hiawatha set has all the signature cars of this luxurious streamliner.
