New London once had two railroads, including a Chicago & North Western Railway (C&NW) mainline and a Green Bay & Western Railroad (GB&W) mainline. Today, the much of the lines have been abandoned, while portions of the former C&NW and GB&W are owned by Fox Valley & Lake Superior Rail System. This city is located in both Outagamie and Waupaca Counties.
