The worst part of the memory of the WC is that the people who were born in the CN era, now think they know how th WC REALLY was.

Back in the day, I remember when Canadian National (CN)bought the Grand Trunk Western (GT)Railroad. I also remember the Soo Line and Wisconsin Central Railroads in Michigan's Upper Pennsula. P.S., I live in Detroit, Michigan.

Awesome video! I recently received a railroad hat for WC from an employee who now works for CN and wanted to see what I could find on KZbin about this railroad. It’s too bad CN bought them out.

I wonder how Ed Burkhardt is doing nowadays. I recently visited His once owned Railway Company in Estonia, which is now currently Operail and I got to tour the shops there. If it wasn't for Ed bringing the Ex-UP GE's to Estonia, the railway company there would have lost alot of money on maintanance of rolling stock. In general he led to the privatisation of the Estonian Railways. While the tour the Estonian guys kept mentioning Ed. They still ask about him to this day. Hope he's doing alright! God Bless You Edward!

Yeah, 1997 was a time when Wisconsin used to be a Conservative state in terms of The Governorships there, bcuz back then during the late 80s and all 90s was basically a time when Tommy Thompson was still Governor of the state til Thompson resigned in 2001

@@brianbuchanan6600 In one of my tapes from Paul Schneider's original series "FastTrack: The Railroad Video Series" it's third volume included a segment called "SHOOTER'S GALLERY" which included scenes from East End Productions said forthcoming video "PASSENGER EXTRA'S ON THE WISCONSIN CENTRAL". Do you know if they ever finished it? I searched through every mid to late 1993 to early 1994 issue from "Trains Magazine" & "Railfan & Railroad" but found nothing.

Burkhardt would not, so he was ousted from the company he created by the board of directors. CN merger was the worst thing to ever happen to WC, although they are FINALLY selling branchlines tjry never wanted! WC 2.0 is coming back. HA! 💪☝️
