The Milwaukee Electric Railway was a public transportation system that operated in and around Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Established in the early 20th century, it primarily provided electric streetcar services, connecting various neighborhoods and suburbs to the city center. The railway played a crucial role in the urban development of Milwaukee, facilitating easy access to jobs and services. In addition to streetcars, the Milwaukee Electric Railway also operated interurban trains that linked Milwaukee with nearby cities like Waukesha and Racine.
