The Lionel Railroad Club of Milwaukee and The Zoological Society of
Milwaukee Is pleased to present this sixth in a series of limited
edition Milwaukee Road cars.

This fish car was developed in association with the Zoological Society
of Milwaukee, Milwaukee Road Historical Association and Lionel Railroad
Club, Inc. members. It will be manufactured by Lionel LLC as the first
North American freshwater game fish aquarium car and will feature
Muskie, Northern Pike and Walleye . This classic will be a fine
addition to your Milwaukee Road or aquarium car collection.

To transport and stock native fish throughout Wisconsin, the states
fisheries commission was formed and purchased its first fish car ,
Badger No. 1, in 1893. That year this car was used to transport the
Wisconsin live fish exhibit to the Worlds Fair in Chicago. In 1912,
Badger No. 2 was purchased and used through the 1940's.  The Milwaukee
Road had its own fish cars which were used by commercial fishermen to
ship fresh Wisconsin fish nationwide through the 1950's.
