The Chicago & North Western covered the upper Midwest like no other railway. The line operated 12,000 miles of track, and in 1950, powered it with 6,266 locomotives. Cargo and travelers were hauled between Chicago, Illinois; Ishpeming, Michigan; Oakes, North Dakota, Casper, Wyoming; and hundreds of other towns in-between. Agricultural products, iron ore, and long coal trains on the Powder River Basin needed reliable power and the new C&NW F unit from Menards® will help your railroad meet the challenge.
