Wisconsin Great Northern
Title:  Wisconsin Great Northern
Description:  A couple of locomotives at the Wisconsin Great Northern Railroad excursion train facility. The WGN runs multiple types of excursions ranging from site seeing to dinner trains to overnight bed and breakfast trains. There does not seem to be an official AAR reporting mark assigned to the railroad either. The most official appearing reporting mark is listed on a government document showing the railroad to be WGNS. The document also notes that there are some variations to what the actual railroads us, which would explain the WGN reporting mark used on the 862's cab. The Wisconsin D.O.T. Wisconsin Railroads and Harbors 2017 edition map shows the railroad listed as WGN. The map shows only operating freight railroads, which includes the WGN line.
