In Popular Culture
The 1930 motion picture Danger Lights was filmed in the Milwaukee Road's yard and shop at Miles City, Montana and on the main line running through the state.
The former Milwaukee Road depot in downtown Wausau, Wisconsin, was used as the logo of Employers Insurance of Wausau, later known as Wausau Insurance Companies which was later sold to Liberty Mutual Insurance Company. The logo itself was a combination of the downtown depot, with a backdrop of the community's skyline. The depot still stands to this day, although it's not used as a depot anymore. A replica of the original downtown depot was built at the former Wausau Insurance Companies campus on Wausau's west side.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“You seem to think that I am adapted to nothing but the sugar-plums of intellect and had better not try to digest anything stronger.... a writer of popular sketches in magazines; a lecturer before Lyceums and College societies; a dabbler in metaphysics, poetry, and art, than which I would rather die, for if it has come to that, alas! verily, as you say, mediocrity has fallen on the name of Adams.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“With respect to a true culture and manhood, we are essentially provincial still, not metropolitan,—mere Jonathans. We are provincial, because we do not find at home our standards; because we do not worship truth, but the reflection of truth; because we are warped and narrowed by an exclusive devotion to trade and commerce and manufacturers and agriculture and the like, which are but means, and not the end.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
