For more info, get a copy of MR, August '97, page 63, and a copy of the SLHTS magazine "the SOO", number 1. They both have nice maps of the Waukesha area. WC had a shop here, until 1900 or so when it moved to North Fond Du Lac. At one time, Waukesha had 3 Class 1 railroads and an interurban line. <br />What kind of operations do you want to model? If it's heavy-duty high volume, the CN (ex-WC, Soo, WCL) or the CP (ex-MILW) would be the way to go. If it's slower paced branchline type, the Wisconsin & Southern (WSOR) would be great. <br />To find much more information, get in touch with historical societies. For the current CN lines, It's the Soo Line Historical and Technical Society (SLHTS). For the UP, the Chicago and North Western Historical Society (CNWHS). They have sites that can be linked to from this one.
