Riding the Route of the Hiawatha feels like stepping into a time machine. Once part of the historic Milwaukee Road, this trail follows a legendary stretch of railroad carved through the Bitterroot Mountains in the early 1900s. Built against the odds, it was one of the most scenic and ambitious rail lines in the country — complete with massive trestles and pitch-black tunnels that still stand today.Today, that same route has been transformed into one of the most unique bike trails in the U.S. The

Amtrak "Hiawatha Service" train No. 332 passes through the brand-new Metra station at Grayland in Chicago's Old Irving Park neighborhood on August 10, 2025.
