Milwaukee Day at East Troy Electric Railroad

Home to the last remaining streetcar from the Milwaukee Electric Railway & Light Company still in operation, the East Troy Electric Railroad celebrates Milwaukee’s rich railcar history during Milwaukee Days.  Joining the 1920 built streetcar, which once whisked residents from the greater Milwaukee area to the ballpark and shopping centers, is a 1907 line car equipped to respond to trolley emergencies.  Also featured during the weekend is L8, a stately locomotive built in 1935 that once served as a secondary work car called on to help in track maintenance and brush cutting, as well as serving as a yard goat and backup locomotive.
