Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The West Wisconsin Railway was a small railroad in Wisconsin, connecting the Chicago and North Western Railway to Hudson. In 1878 the West Wisconsin Railway was acquired by the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha Railway. The Chicago and North Western Transportation Company was a Class I railroad in the Midwest United States. It was also known as the North Western. The railroad operated more than 5,000 miles (8,000 km) of track as of the turn of the 20th century, and over 12,000 miles (19,000 km) of track in seven states before retrenchment in the late 1970s. Until 1972, when the company was sold to its employees, it was named the Chicago and North Western Railway.
