Railroad from Green Bay through Wausau to Eau Claire - Trains Magazine

Hi Jim,

This was the C&NW's east-west route across Wisconsin.  The line from Green Bay- Marshfield was CNW and Marshfield west of the Chicago, St Paul, Minneapolis, and Omaha Ry.  You are correct in remembering long daily trains.  Green Bay- Altoona (Eau Claire) were trains #70-71 also known as the Tolake an Frolake.  There were also local trains as well.  The passenger trains #108-109 came off in 1954.  Through service ended in 1976 and the rails were abandoned west of Wausau in 1982.  Go to Flickr and search CNW Marshfield and you'll find pictures.
