Recently on a trip to Duluth we passed quite a string og tank and hoppers that I imagine were in storage. This was along 53 in the Spooner Wisc. area Whose track ? Thanks for any info John Slover
Quite the string of cars … Google says Wisconsin Great Northern Railroad
If you scroll far enough to the left, that is the name of the RR that is on the sides of the 3 passenger cars on the end… scroll a bit further and there is an F7 locomotive in the distance.
A little further south before the rails turn into a trail … there is a roundhouse.
WGNX is not even a common carrier (former CNW/CMO Omaha Road line); failed as a common carrier in the late 90’s/ started circa 1992…glorified industrial track with no industry to serve?
