We have a new trivia question and another 2015 Whistle on the Wind steam calendar produced by Mid-Continent Railway Museum to give away (a $10 value). List your guess in the comments. Guesses must be received by 7:00 p.m. CST on Tuesday, Jan. 27th. BACKGROUND: According to the National Association of Railroad Passengers, Amtrak passengers traveling to, from, or within Wisconsin in 2013, on average, paid a fare of $27.00 and traveled 123 miles. This equates to 21.8 CENTS PER MILE. Amtrak trains in Wisconsin travel over former Milwaukee Road tracks. TRIVIA QUESTION: What was the average train fare (in CENTS PER MILE) paid by passengers riding aboard Milwaukee Road trains for the period of July 1910 to June 1911. Hint: The correct answer involves decimal numbers. NOTES & RULES: - In the event of a tie, the person answering first wins - Calendar will only be shipped within the U.S - The MCRM Facebook Admin. has final say - The data source used for the answer is calculated from a 1913 report (to be cited when the answer is given). Calendars may also be purchased for $7.00 + 3.00 S&H by calling Mid-Continent Railway Museum at 800-930-1385, Monday-Friday.
