NEW RELEASE, June, 2026
The Viroqua Line is a companion and successor to last year’s release of The Coon Valley Line, The History of the La Crosse and Southeastern Railroad. The Milwaukee Road purchased the La Crosse and Southeastern Railroad in 1933 and ran it as part of the Viroqua Line. A chapter about each town on the Viroqua Line gives its history, a railroad track plan in the town, and many pictures.
