Tom, I might be wrong, but I don't think that happened. Unlike the CB&Q, the 
MILW had several detour options over its own lines. MILW lines from 
Milwaukee-Horicon-Portage, Watertown-Madison-Portage, 
Chicago-Walworth-Madison-Portage, etc. were used. If needed, the Hiawathas 
could also be detoured on MILW rails from Chicago-Savanna-Dubuque-River 
Junction (LaCrosse). Amtrak today, of course, uses the old CB&Q for occasional 
detours for its "Empire Builder", but this is because much of the former detour 
MILW trackage is either abandoned (Cambria-Portage) or has track with low speed 
limits.
