Wisconsin Central to gain cut off to shorten Minneapolis Chicago route
Surveyors are laying out a long proposed cut off to make the Wisconsin Central one of the stronger lines serving twin cities and Chicago. The plan envisions a short direct link from Grand Rapids to Waukesha to shorten the Minneapolis to Chicago and Duluth to Chicago routes. Engineers report an easy grade between Grand Rapids and Waukesha as the line grows in importance for freight and passenger business.
