Sioux (passenger train)

{| Railway line header

The "Sioux" was a named passenger train of the Milwaukee Road that operated between Chicago, Madison, Wisconsin, and Rapid City, South Dakota, via Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin and northern Iowa. The train operated coaches, diners and sleeping cars though most of its history.

By 1961 the train was cut back to a Chicago to Canton, South Dakota, service with prepaid taxi connections to nearby Sioux Falls. By the mid-1960s the train was further cut back to a Chicago to Madison coach service. The train ceased operation on May 1, 1971, when Amtrak assumed national rail service.
