The Marquette was a passenger train operated by the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad ("Milwaukee Road") between Chicago and Mason City, Iowa.[2] Service began in 1937, but was eliminated by 1955.[3][4] Despite the elimination of the Marquette, the line continued to see service by the Sioux until 1960, when that service was cut back to Madison, Wisconsin.[5]
