Rail lines on the block as ICC reviews Wisconsin abandonments
The Interstate Commerce Commission faces proposals to abandon multiple miles of Chicago and North Western tracks in northwestern Wisconsin. If approved, lines from Truax Prairie to Hudson and from Chippewa Falls to Itasca would be discontinued, impacting many communities and shippers. The DOT studies the regional impact while railroad and state officials seek more details amid potential changes.
