I think I have a partial answer to your question: <br />A local group here in La Crosse WI published a book a while back covering the local railroad scene since the beginning thru the present day. I have a copy. Here is a brief synapsis: The last C&NW passenger trains to run this line were the Rochester 400 and the Twin Cities 400 on July 23, 1963. Also, after 1975, most C&NW freights used Milwaukee Road (now CP/Soo line) tracks thru western WI and MN. Parts of the route were abandoned in 1964, 1977, and 1980. Much of this route has now become part of the 400 trail. Here is the address if you are interested in purchasing this book. The book is called: <br />Grand Crossings: Railroading and People in La Crosse, Wisconsin. You can write to: The 4000 Foundation, P.O. Box 3411, La Crosse, WI 54602. <br />I hope this helps. <br />Todd
