Oshkosh System Sold Link in Chicago Green Bay Rail Plan
The Milwaukee Electric Railway and Light Company is reported to have dealt for the entire Winnebago Traction system including Oshkosh street railway and interurban lines from Oshkosh to Neenah with power house, car barns, sub-station and 34 cars. Negotiations were admitted by manager B. E. Downs amid tight-lipped details. The sale would complete a key link toward a Chicago to Green Bay electric railway corridor, with Oshkosh opened in 1899 and interurban lines starting that fall. Emerson McMillin & Co. of New York control the securities and manage through American Light & Traction, with a capitalization series rising toward 39 million.
