The Chicago and North Western (CNW) aka: "North Western" based in Chicago, IL, operated over 12,000 miles of track in seven states before retrenchment in the late 1970s. The C&NW became one of the longest railroads in the USA as a result of mergers with other railroads, and it's Proviso Freight Yard, just outside of the city was the largest in the world, with 224 miles of trackage and a capacity of more than 20,000 cars. Eventually, trackage in IL, MI, MN, MO, NB, ND, SD, WI, and WY was divided between Union Pacific RR and CPRail. Potatoes from the west were one of the main crops carried by the C&NW, and its potato sheds in Chicago were the nation's largest. It also carried western sugar beets and huge amounts of corn and wheat. Often operating in severe cold throughout our Western Plains States, C&NW has a storied history of delivering goods to brave pioneer towns. In 1995, the Union Pacific Corporation acquired the North Western.
