[quote]Originally posted by dknelson The Milwaukee, Manitowoc & Green Bay Railroad was formed in March 1870. It completed 74 miles of track from Lake Shore Jct (N of Milwaukee) to Manitowoc in 1872--1873. it had an interchange with the CNW through Sheboygan into Manitowoc. It renamed itself The Milwaukee Lake Shore & Western. There was also the Appleton & New Longon Railroad chartered in 1866, which became part of the Lake Shore. In 1874 a branch from Manitowoc to Two Rivers was built. They still had not reached Green Bay. They reorganized in 1875. Eventually this railroad reached much of northern Wisconsin/. It came under the control of the C&NW in 1891 My source is H Roger Grant's book "NorthWestern" published by Northern Illinois University Press. I recommend it to anyone interested in CNW history Dave Nelson
