Financial problems plagued the Green Bay, Winona, & St. Paul.  Within a week of this timetable taking effect the Green Bay and Western Railroad was incorporated.  The GB&W purchased the foreclosed property of the GBW&StP and began operations on June 10, 1896. 

This timetable includes the New London and Whitehall divisions, and the La Crosse and Stevens Point branches.
