"The Chicago and North Western reporting mark CNW was a Class I railroad in the Midwestern United States. It was also known as the "North Western". The railroad operated more than 5000 miles 8000 km of track at the turn of the 20th century and over 12000 miles 19000 km of track in seven states before retrenchment in the late 1970s. Until 1972 when the employees purchased the company it was named the Chicago and North Western Railway or Chicago and North Western Railway Company. The C&NW became one of the longest railroads in the United States as a result of mergers with other railroads such as the Chicago Great Western Railway Minneapolis and St. Louis Railway and others. By 1995 track sales and abandonment had reduced the total mileage to about 5000. The majority of the abandoned and sold lines were lightly trafficked branches in Iowa Illinois Minnesota South Dakota and Wisconsin. Large line sales such as those that resulted in the Dakota Minnesota and Eastern Railroad further helped reduce the railroad to a mainline core with several regional feeders and branches. Union Pacific UP purchased the company in April 1995 and integrated it with its own operation. " from Wikipedia; B&W and Color Illustrations; 114p. pages; Pictured 11/16/25 .
