Articles appearing here will include a wide variety of topics related to railroads. Many people from the area of Central Wisconsin and Portage County have established themselves as notable RR historians. Among the best are Malcolm Rosholt and Professor Raymond Specht (UWSP).

Malcolm Rosholt has written several books about Wisconsin life and his "Wisconsin Railroads" (out of print) is well worth the effort of finding. He has an extensive photo collection, part of which is at UWSP's Archives Dept.

Raymond Specht penned many books and articles. Many were published by Railway & Locomotive Historical Society, Inc.

Keith Meacham, long time president of the Hub City Model Railroaders located in Marshfield Wisconsin, has contributed several articles here. His monograph on telegraphy is a fitting tribute to his father's many years as a telegrapher for the Soo Line.
