I know that I have that info in my briefcase at work. There was a book published that showed the time frame for all of the track built in Wisconsin. I'm pretty sure that the RR was called the Milwaukee, Lakeshore and Western. They built from Milwaukee to Sheboygan to Manitowoc then over to Kaukauna then north to Green Bay. That's how the first line reached from Milw. to Green Bay. Pretty round-about way of getting there. If you look at the website for the City of Kaukauna, WI, (see link below) They mention the offices of the M, LS & W relocating in 1881, so they must have been there a little prior. http://www.cityofkaukauna.com/about/Default.asp?Search=ADV& " In 1881, Milwaukee Lakeshore and Western Railroad relocated its district office from Manitowoc to Kaukauna's south side. " Subsequently, this became part of the C&NW. Later the line from Sheboygan to Plymouth to Fond du Lac was built, as were the lines from Milw to Fond du Lac to Oshkosh and Kaukauna and then finally the Manitowoc to Green Bay line. The later was in the early 1900's. As you're probably aware, there were / are 2 lines though Sheboygan. One that ran closer in to town which served the passenger station. If you pull up a Sheboygan map on Mapquest.com, and zoom in a couple clicks, you can see both lines. I'll see what I have in that file at work for you. - Stack.
