New Railroad Projects Loom in Northern Wisconsin
A wave of railroad building is seen for the summer of 1895 across northern Wisconsin. Plans include the Merrill Antigo and Southeastern line, a Northwestern Lumber Co. route from Stamey to Testella, a feeder for the Wisconsin Central, and an Oshkosh link to Neenah via the Lake Superior division. The Oshkosh extension would connect to the St. Paul system, boost lumber trade, and relieve high freight costs as major lumber firms back the project.
