Description
English:

The Chicago, Milwaukee, & St. Paul Railway, known as The Milwaukee Road, started service between the Midwest and Seattle in 1909. In 1911, the company added two new, all-steel, state of the art trains to the line, one of which was called The Olympian. When the United States entered World War I in 1918, the Milwaukee Road reduced all trains' level of service to support the war effort. In 1918, Charles Ephriam Hunt (1865-1928), Railroad Editor for The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, wrote the words and music for "The New Steel Trail," a song touting the charms of riding on The Olympian. A march and two-step, the piece was arranged by Carl A. Weber. It was published by the Passenger Department of The Chicago Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway.
