| Municipal of East Troy Railroad ( METW ) M15 at East Troy, Wisconsin on June 30, 1966, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number M15 was built by The Milwaukee Electric Railway and Light Company at their Cold Springs Shops in 1920 as a trailer but later powered. It was transferred to the East Troy operation in 1939 after the abandonment of the railroad in East Troy. Eventually the Village of East Troy purchased the railroad and M15 and continued to serve freight customers. By 1971 the railroad was operated by a couple of historical organizations until purchased outright in 1995 by the East Troy Railroad Museum, and the M15 was sold to the Illinois Railway Museum. |
