A modest web site dedicated
to transit history in and around Milwaukee, Wisconsin. PLEASE NOTE: This is a personal web site and is not affiliated with
the Milwaukee County Transit System, Wisconsin Energy Corporation nor any of the organizations, past or present, represented
in the content. Last modified September 17th, 2008.
Welcome to The Transport Company Web Station.
I hope to present an expanded site containing pages for company literature and post service preservation. I also hope to get
the broken links repaired as soon as possible. I have not figured out how to use my site builder program in a way which would
allow me to post small "thumbnails" on the various pages, which would link to the larger images as they are clicked upon.
As a result, the contents displayed on each page are loading in their entirety, causing slow loading for "Web TV" and dial
up viewers. I hope to get this resolved, too.
There are still a number of typographical errors I need to correct, captions to add
and a large number of photos and scans of vintage company literature to upload.
One of the regular contributors to the site has driven around the Milwaukee area, photographing
old stations, substations, rights of way and other remainders from the TMER&L era. I hope to get these images up as soon
as possible, on their own page.
**********************************************************
Remember, your comments and corrections are always welcome. Please be patient, it will
take some time to get everything up and running.
Thanks for stopping by!

I have been very irresponsible about answering e-mail and I offer no excuses. I apologize.
I will attempt to make an effort to answer future e-mail inquiries in a timely matter.
