Road and Track - November 1935
The first Hiawatha began a daily 6½ hour schedule over the 410 miles between Chicago and St. Paul on May 29, 1935. The four new class A locomotives had streamlining by Otto Kuhler, were oil-fired to reduce servicing time en route, and were some of the fastest steam engines ever built, capable of powering their five-car trains at sustained speeds more than 100 mph. Patronage was good and the consist grew from five cars to as many as nine.
