Austin once had three railroads running through it, including two Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway (Milwaukee Road) mainlines, and a Chicago Great Western Railway mainline. Today, CPKC operates the remaining Milwaukee Road tracks. The Milwaukee Road east of Austin and the CGW have been abandoned.
