IC into Milwaukee - Milwaukee & Southwestern

NEW railway project.
The Illinois Wants a Good Road Into the Cream City For Coal Trade.
Milwaukee, Jan. 6. —The Journal this evening said: “The Milwaukee &. Southwestern road that was recently incorporated under the laws of the state, is nothing more or less than an off-shoot from the Illinois Central,’’ said a well-informed railway man this morning. “Theroad will be built from Milwaukee to a point near Lake Geneva on the state line, and the Illinois Central will build up from Aurora to meet it. The object on the part of the Illinois Central is to get a through line into Milwaukee so that they can compete in the coal trade.”
