also did WC run through here at all.

Hey good buddy -- if you don't have it, pick up a copy of the December Trains -- it shows where all four of the Class I's in that area run (CN, CPR, BNSF, UP) as well as the short lines. Complicated as all get out [:)], but comprehensible.

Where does that line end now? If I remember right that line use to go to GB, but it is a trail by Greenleaf. Does it still junction at Hilbert with the east-west line from Neenah to Manitowoc?

In all possibility, if that line comes up again, it may be controlled by
RailAmerica like so many of the other short lines being sold to them.
There are very few shortlines that ARE NOT controlled by them left.
Is there still a thriving market for a railroad up there??? Being near
a major city, let's hope so.

Hi lazwerg-

I'm over in Fond du Lac, and the latest info I've heard is that the CN wants to keep in place for now, as a detour route. Many suggestions have been made as to it's use otherwise, such as bike trail, etc. but nothing firm yet.

In the last days of the WC, derailments were frequent on this line, and the last movements I personally saw were inspection trucks about 6 months ago(I do construction work in that area occasionally).
