Need some info on this Rwy

[HiBaller]

I picked up this sign at a yard sale and can't find a lot of info on the actual railway. Does someone have anything on it?

It is a metal sign and doesn't appear to be used at all.

Thanks Bernie. Google turned me on those two sites. Lots of information on what it used to be (and what it is today). I'm looking for a little more like track plans of certain areas, that sort of thing. Even good shots of yards & right-of-way would be a good thing. Those two sites have a lot of those to be sure.

Do you have this site for the Interurban Trail in Ozaukee County? It follows the old interurban line north through Port Washington. There are good maps of the right of way almost down to Milwaukee.

Good luck on the search.

Thanks, Claude. That is just the kind of thing I was looking for. Google can only go so far.
