OAHT 1521: TMER&L
The Milwaukee Electric Railway & Light Company (TMER&L Co.) was incorporated in January, 1896, and succeeded to the property and business of the Milwaukee Street Railway Company which had been organized in 1890.
Finally on June 3, 1907, service was extended to Oconomowoc from Waukesha. The portion to Watertown was opened on July 31, 1908, and was extended to the CNW depot in Watertown September 26th of the same year. It took two hours to travel between Milwaukee and Watertown n the electric Interurban and the round-trip fare was $1.75.
The Watertown line from Oconomowoc to Watertown was abandoned on February 1, 1940, and on July 21, 1941.
Driving to this Geocache location, the Interurban went west on Second Street and continued to Watertown to the south of the area of this Geocache location. There is talk about future trails going from Oconomowoc to Watertown, the same route as the former Interurban.
The area where the Geocache is located and surrounding area is owned by the City of Oconomowoc as a City Yard. You do not need to go into the fenced area.
