Yeah there is(although I don't know if a person would classify it as "New" since it has to be closing in on a year old). The Wisconsin Northern runs through...
I rode the Laona & Northern in 1977, and the mixed train was already discontinued but it still ran from Laona to Camp 5 and return. I recall the ROW was as bad...
You're right, the L&N still exists as a tourist line. But I was wondering when the line quit as a freight hauler. My guess is sometime in the 1980's. Glenn...

Members: Afew years back, the L&N operated, breifly as the Rat River RailRoad/Way as I understand. I had hoped to get some shots, but the office explained they...
I rode the L&N behind the Vulcan "4-Spot" to Camp Five in 1977 and have some good 8mm film. I think the mixed-train service had already halted but I found one...

I was wondering if anybody has compiled a locomotive roster of the 6 steam engines that the Hillsboro and Northeastern Ry. once had. I know the line also had a...
Glenn, I've been trying to learn more about the H&NE myself, but so far I haven't turned up a whole lot other than the very basic information. The best soucres...
Noah, Somewhere in all this clutter I have a topo map from the 1950's(?) that shows the track configurations at Hillsboro and Union Center, and the N&NE...
Glenn, I would appreciate it if you can dig that topo map out and either post it to the group or e-mail it too me. It would be most appreciated, as I'm still...
Just a short note to let you know that I tried to post a color topo map of the H&NE route on the site, but it was rejected as being too large a file. I'll try...
I put a black and white scan of a colored topo map that shows the Hillsboro and Northeastern Ry in the file section. Move the icon over the map and wait for...

This post is essentially an attempt to take back this site from the garbage in the last several messages. I was wondering if any of you had any info on the...
I never heard of the C&LS. I don't see any reference to it on any historical maps. Sounds like they had big ambitions. I have heard that the Tomahawk...
