Wisconsin Central Ltd.

Wisconsin Central Ltd. was a North American freight railroad company that operated primarily in the Midwest, particularly in Wisconsin and parts of Canada. Founded in the late 19th century, it focused on transporting bulk goods like agricultural products and timber. The company became known for its efficient service and was an essential part of regional transportation. In 2001, it was acquired by Canadian National Railway, which expanded its operations and integrated Wisconsin Central’s network into a larger rail system, enhancing freight movement across North America.
