Railroad Collection
In 2009 the Wisconsin Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society (NRHS) gave a very generous donation of over 200 railroad books and other materials to Butler Public Library. The books and materials include information about (but are not limited to):
- The Milwaukee Road
- Soo Line Railroad
- The Burlington Northern
- Great Northern Railway
- Southern Pacific Railroad
- Chicago & NorthWestern Railroad
- History of Wisconsin railroads
- General railroad history and manuals
- National Railway Historical Society Bulletin
- Sparks & Cinders
Some items are available for check out while others do not circulate. Please use non-circulating materials at the library only.
See the Railroad Materials Available at Butler Public Library.
