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.

A good break down of the issue thanks, on reflection I can see that yea it's more performative and not actually useful in any material sense for native peoples.
