PGR 1500 "City of Barron"
Title:  PGR 1500 "City of Barron"
Description:  A classic paint scheme on Progressive Rail's Wisconsin Northern GP15-1 at Norma in the northern section of Chippewa Falls. Progressive rail operates on track leased from the Union Pacific (Chicago & Northwestern) from this location to Cameron. At Cameron, the line splits and runs on track leased from the Wisconsin Central (CN) west to Almena and north to Rice Lake. However, satellite views indicate the line beyond Poskin to Almena is out of service, with grade crossings removed.
