Foster Railroad

From TrainSpottingWorld, for Rail fans everywhere

The Foster Railroad was begun in 1912, as a railway connecting Fairchild, Wisconsin with Foster, via Hay Creek, in southern Eau Claire County. In 1913, the railroad was extended beyond Foster, via Allen as far as Cleghorn. The railroad went defunct as a result of the Great Depression-induced change from grain farming to dairy farming as the mainstay of Wisconsin's agricultural base.[1]
