Wisconsin Great Northern Railroad

The Wisconsin Great Northern Railroad in Spooner, Wisconsin, offers a scenic excursion through the pristine lake country of northern Wisconsin, a landscape of pine forests, glacial lakes, and wetlands that teems with wildlife. The railroad operates vintage equipment along a historic northern Wisconsin line, with trips running through the wooded countryside of Washburn County. The surrounding area is part of Wisconsin’s legendary northwoods resort region, famous for walleye fishing, deer hunting, snowmobiling, and spectacular fall foliage. The Spooner depot, a handsome historic station, serves as the base for excursions and special event trains including fall color runs, holiday trains, and dinner excursions that showcase the quiet beauty of Wisconsin’s lake district.
