Western Railroad Discussion > UP in Wisconsin

Had a couple of questions about UP operations in Wisconsin. First, is there still a daily manifest each way between Proviso and Superior? If so, what are the symbols for these trains? Any sort of regular schedule? Also, does one crew operate between Adams and Superior? If not, what is the division point/crew change point between those locations?

Years ago, CNW used to interchange with GB&W at Merillian. Does that still happen between UP and CN?

Thanks for any info.

UP runs a manifest south out of Superior on the former WC twice per week. It symbolled MITAD and runs to Adams. Runs out of Superior on Thursday and Sunday evenings. Call time
is about 1630 out of Superior and a crew change is done at Wisconsin Rapids.

Hope that helps.

Was in Merrillan back in July to get pictures. The interchange track is still in place but the switch on the CN side is not. That was my first time there. I would like to spend more time in that area.
