A LITTLE HISTORY The East Troy Electric Railroad is the last vestige of Wisconsin’s once vast network of interurban railways. Concentrated in the southeastern quarter of the state, this network once totaled over 385 miles of track. Most of the interurban railway mileage in Wisconsin was built between 1890 and 1910. The last interurban passenger in the state was carried in 1963 by the North Shore Line. The East Troy Line, formerly part of The Milwaukee Electric Railway & Light Company, carried passengers between East Troy and Milwaukee from 1907 until 1939. After 1939 the seven-mile line existed as a railroad freight connection for the Village of East Troy.
