Abstract:

Correspondence and other records relating to construction and alterations of grade crossings and other safety matters at railroad and street railroad crossings, primarily in the Milwaukee and La Crosse area. Included are estimates, correspondence, blueprints, reports of crossing accidents, orders, recommendations, photographs and statements of costs and apportionments. The crossing files, all identified with a code comprised of the letter C and the company identifier, represent only a portion of the division's crossing files that once existed. It is likely that the files about the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway and the Chicago and North Western Railroad had been removed from the main files because they pertained to formal cases and because of their size. Subsequent to this removal the main files were presumably destroyed. Files regarding the Milwaukee Electric Railway Co. crossings (previously in Series 1306) were added to this incomplete file in 1996.
