Lionel 6-83992 Chicago and North Western LioneChief Ready-to Run O Gauge Train SetMenard Exclusive: Chicago and North Western Ready-to-Run Electric O-Gauge Train Set by Lionel. One of the most fondly remembered railroads was the Chicago & North Western which maintained a sprawling network of more than 11,000 route miles across Wisconsin, Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, Illinois, Missouri, Michigan, and even reached North Dakota and Wyoming. One could watch a passing freight bobbing along rickety, weed-covered track to serve nearby grain elevators and local farmers needing agricultural product moved. While a joy to see these branches it was draining on the railroad. The C&NW struggled during the 1960's and 1970's but regained its footing in the 1980's with the rise in Powder River Basin coal. This clean-burning natural resource brought about a renaissance that led to its purchased by Union Pacific in 1995.
