Rebuilding a Railroad in the 21st Century: Sheboygan County, Wisconsin (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781530709496)

This book documents the rebuilding of an 11-mile rail line in Sheboygan County, Wisconsin, after being dormant for nearly 30 years. This was more than just a fix-it-up job, but the replacement of the entire line from the ground up with new track built to modern standards to handle heavy loads. It also required one trestle to be completely replaced and others reinforced. Adding to the generous amount of photos, there are "before" and "after" photos taken at dozens of locations, and it won't seem possible that these photos were taken at the same location. Also included is the history of this line from the pre-civil war era to current times. Old rail dating back over 150 years was found and included is the story that these old rails tell.
