Charter Line: the Milwaukee Road
Milwaukee & Waukesha/Milwaukee & Mississippi Railroad


The Milwaukee Road in Wisconsin was originally called the Milwaukee and Waukesha, and then
the Milwaukee and Mississippi Railroad. On November 26th 1976, I followed a train eastward on
the line. I believe the railroad was built through the area in these photographs in 1852 or 1853.
