First employee timetable of the Green Bay & Lake Pepin Railway.


The GB&LP began laying track west from Green Bay and reached New London on December 19, 1871 and regularly scheduled service began the following month.  The two trains, No. 1 & 2, became a regular fixture on the Wisconsin landscape  for the next one hundred and twenty years.

All trains and engines must come to a full stop before crossing Wolf River Bridge, and must not cross until ascertained if the draw is all right.

All trains must come to a FULL STOP before crossing other railroads, and within 400 feet of same.

In the State Of Wisconsin any Train upon either Road, arriving at the crossing first, will cross ahead; but no Train or Engine must cross another Railroad at a rate of speed exceeding six miles an hour.

"In all incorporated cities [in Wisconsin], Railroad Companies shall cause the Bell on the engine to be rung before crossing any of the streets of a city � and their trains shall not go faster, until the same have passed all traveled streets of said city, than the rate of six miles per hour." � (State law.)
