Wisconsin Great Northern

Company History: WGNR was launched in 1997 as a dinner train operation from Trego (just north of Spooner) to Springbrook, Wisconsin. Despite the name and the Omaha Orange paint, this route was actually part of the Chicago St. Paul Minneapolis & Omaha line to the port of Bayfield on Lake Michigan. Freight service was re-introduced to the line in 2014. The locomotive fleet includes two F7A’s, an SW1, an SD40-2 and an SD38AC.
