Directly in front of these cabinets is an-
other electrified rail section. The two lines
that had run through East Troy in the small
room behind the stairwell emerge through
tunnel portals to the north of the stairwell.
These lines pass lines of cars parked between
them going separate directions once hitting
the town proper. A smattering of buildings
occupies a block, one corner promoting a
large political sign touting “Vote Zeidler for
Mayor!” This is but one of the mere tidbits
on the layout hinting at their history as Frank
Zeidler served three terms as mayor of Mil-
waukee from 1948 to 1960. He was also a
founding member of the Model Railroad
Club of Milwaukee.
The lines head over to the focal point of
this section: the Watertown Terminal. Two
lines break off and head under and through View 107
the shed where it meets the opposite line.
The mainlines break off a siding and both the
siding and the mainline curve around the out-
side of the terminal before continuing on
around the loop, back to the tunnel portals.
