Summary

Description Exterior photo of the beaver tail observation car from a Milwaukee Road flyer on the Midwest Hiawatha detailing the changes made to the train's cars since the train's 1940 premiere.
Date No date shown on flyer. Circa 1947 to 1950. The observation cars of the Olympian, Twin Cities, and Morning and Afternoon Hiawathas were changed from the "Beaver Tail" style to the "skytop" File:Milwaukee Road Skytop observation car 1968.JPG style cars circa 1947-1948. The flyer mentions that the Beaver Tail observation car is a late model fully reconditioned one; there were 3 types of Beaver Tail observation cars. The one shown was the last "Beaver Tail" version. New equipment was the "Skytop" style; the Beaver Tail cars apparently came from equipment changes to the other trains. The flyer also mentions the new "Sleepy Hollow" chairs in the coach cars; these were new in the late 1940s to many railroads.
