In response to Burlington's new Diesel-powered Twin Zephyrs, the Milwaukee introduced its own streamlined flyer between Chicago and the Twin Cities. Powered by a specially built 4-4-2 Atlantic steam locomotive, the Hiawathas routinely topped 100 mph. The train included a "Tip Top Tap" lounge car with beverage service and a unique "Beaver Tail" parlor-observation car.
