The Milwaukee Road class "A" was a class of high-speed, streamlined 4-4-2 "Atlantic" type steam locomotives built by the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) in 1935-37 to haul the Milwaukee Road’s Hiawatha express passenger trains.

Locomotive No. 3 was taken out of service in 1949 and cannibalized for spare parts to keep the
