No More Deliveries of Newprint Rolls Here-Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Printing Press West Milwaukee WI
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel closed this printing press which opened in 2003 this month. From the appearance of the rails it looked like it had been a long time since CP delivered loads of newsprint to it in boxcars via the Menomonee Belt Line.
Newspapers instead will be printed in Peoria by another Gannett property and trucked five hours up to Milwaukee each day.
The Menomonee Belt Line which was once the main interchange point between the Milwaukee Road and the C&NW in the Milwaukee area is essentially dead now with the closure of the Journal Sentinel printing press and the former Froedtert mill. At one time dozens of customers were served off of it.
