The Hiawatha was a train that ran from Chicago to Minneapolis in 6 1/2 hours. The name came from the Native American leader Hiawatha and seems to be culturally appropriated :(. I would love to learn more about Hiawatha from comrades that know more.
Milwaukee Road Class As pulled the Hiawatha. The demanding schedule called for sustained speeds of 100mph (160km/h) and above, so in 1935 the first Class A was built. It was a truly beautiful locomotive and during a record breaking run in 1935 the Hiawatha was recorded at 112.5mph. It was rumored to go even faster.

It makes me angry to hear about trains going 100mph in America almost a century ago. Everywhere else trains have gotten faster and here they've gotten slower.
