| Built in 1907 by the Milwaukee Electric Railway & Light Company, it continues in its 95th year as a living shortline as well as a museum. The East Troy Electric Railroad is a standard gauge, common carrier railroad, operating in interchange with the Wisconsin Central Lines. Its reporting mark is METW, representing Municipality of East Troy Wisconsin, reflecting its former ownership. It was built in 1906-7 by the Milwaukee Electric Railway and Light Company, TMER&L, as part of their 200-mile system of streetcar and interurban service. East Troy was the terminus of one line that ran from Milwaukee. This segment survived the abandonment of the rest of the East Troy line owing to a need for freight service to sustain the industries located in the town. |
