My guess is that you were at the point where the former CNW (now UP) line between Milwaukee and Minneapolis crosses over the former WC (now CN) between Fond du Lac and Chicago. <br /> <br />The UP line gets 2-3 trains per day in each direction (1 manifest and the TripleCrown road railer train.) The CN train should be much heavier, tho perhaps a little light due to the holiday. <br /> <br />A suggestion for a future visit would be to go just a few miles South on the CN line to Duplainville (noted above.) This is where the CP crosses CN. Should get a little more traffic there as this is the CP line from Chicago-Milw-Minneapolis. Amtrak's Empire Builder rides CP here. <br /> <br />I'm guessing the passenger cars might be the private cars owned by printing company Quad Graphics. The owner of the company has several cars. Its a pretty sizable printing company which prints many magazines and formerly printed the Sears catalog.
