Burlington Northern
Model Railroad Page

I model the Burlington Northern Railroad in a hypothetical Northern Wisconsin setting.

Imagine what would have happened if the Northern Pacific line from Superior Wisconsin to Ashland Wisconsin had not been abandoned!

I model the Burlington Northern as it might have been if this was true.  The model runs a main line from the yard in Superior to Ashland.

Superior Wisconsin includes grain elveators, a coal dumper, a coal loader on the water, and the car shop in the yard.

Ashland Wisconsin industries grew as the railroad maintained service to the area.  NorthernChem, a hypothetical industry in Ashland, employs over 300 workers and manufactures chemical intermediates for paper companies that populate the northern part of the state.
