Our Railroad Interests in Wisconsin Debate
An extensive letter in the Watertown Courier argues Milwaukee’s rail policy harms Watertown, Baraboo Valley and Columbus branches. It claims Milwaukee favors La Crosse and Mississippi lines, opposes the Madison and Columbus Land Grant routes, and cites distances and connections to show Milwaukee should back shorter western links. The piece asserts Milwaukee’s stance threatens regional routes and notes forthcoming lines and dock connections at Grand Haven.
