Western Railway

Western Railway:We have already mentioned, the C & NW - here is a painting by one of his steam passenger trains by Russ Porter. This was a Class I railroad in the Midwest, which was also known as the Northwestern. It serves more than 5,000 miles (8000 km) of track from the turn of the 20th Century, and about 12,000 miles (19,000 km) of track in seven states before downsizing in the late 1970s. Until 1972, when the company was sold to its employees, it was the name of Chicago and Northwestern Railway. The C & NW was one of the longest railways in the United States as a result of mergers, as with the Chicago Great Western Railway, Minneapolis and St. Louis Railway, and others. Until 1995, track sales and abandonment of the total distance was reduced to around 5,000. The majority of the abandoned lines were sold and traded slightly offices in Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, South Dakota and Wisconsin. Large online sales, like those that led to the Dakota, Minnesota and Eastern Railroad further contributed to the railroad to a remote core with several regional distributors and retail outlets. The company was bought by Union Pacific in April 1995 and ceased to exist following year.
