This is a good article about the formation of the Wisconsin Central Railroad in Menasha, its glory days and eventual downfall when financial problems raised their ugly head. It discusses the animosity fueling Neenah to convince the railroads to route the rails around Menasha, leaving a big obstacle (Little Lake Butte des Morts) between the trains and the city's industries.
