A section of the former Milwaukee Road Pacific Extension in Idaho is now the Route of the Hiawatha Trail in Idaho. Along the 15-mile trail are 47 plaques about the Milwaukee Road and other historic features of the area through which the trail passes. The official trail website has a history section. See:

Route of the Hiawatha Trail

Stanley Johnson's book, The Milwaukee Road in Idaho functions as a trail guide and is chock full of information about the Milwaukee Road.

There are many Americans not sufficiently knowledgeable or interested in history However. you are well off the mark to cite the name change for the trail in Washington as evidence that most people are not interested in history when promotion of Route of the Hiawatha Trail's historic elements is strong evidence to the contrary.
