Wisconsin Railroading History

Wisconsin Railroading History - Two Free Book Downloads:
"19TH CENTURY RAILROADING IN WISCONSIN" &
"EARLY 20TH CENTURY RAILROADING IN WISCONSIN".
Two volumes of facts and figures compiled from from "State of Wisconsin
Railroad Commission Reports" covering 1852 thru 1919.

Located at: www.apex-ephemera.com/WisRRHistory/

First chapter covers the Milwaukee & Mississippi Railroad (the first commercial railroad in Wisconsin).

The books are offered as "free read" downloads by the author Don
Anderson to perpetuate Wisconsin's great railroading heritage.

Please note that I am not a trained or expert Wisconsin railroad historian.
I compiled the books as a hobby.

Emails gladly accepted, but no phone calls.

Thanks for posting these! My father's side of the family contains a number of career railroaders, so I'm particularly interested in the subject.

If you haven't already, you may want to post this in the genealogy forums or use the add-a-link to add it to our link directory under "Entertainment" -> "History"

Railroads are an important part of the American way. Commerce grew, and the folks of the country are better able to mingle with the various cultures that make up our nation.
