The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway, later to become the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific, and to be generally known as The Milwaukee Road, had mainlines that ran parallel to the Northern Pacific Railroad and the Great Northern Railroad, though it did so at first by way of Milwaukee after leaving the Chicago. The railroad also ran lines west from Chicago into Iowa, Missouri and Nebraska. Depots along their routes can be found on the stamps and documents below.
