[milwaukee-electric] Re: Name of the Milwaukee Train Station During 1969

[Scott Greig]

Yes, give or take a year on the C&NW.  I'd have to check my copy of "The 400 Story" to be sure.  The lakefront station sat vacant for a few years (and had at least one fire) before the City of Milwaukee put pressure on the railroad and it was razed.

A rotten shame that it was.
