A Canadian National freight train idles on Wisconsin Central railroad tracks near Rosemont, IL. as it waits February 1, 2001 for an approach signal. Canadian National Railway Co. has reached a deal to buy Wisconsin Central Transportation Corp., for $800 million in cash. Wisconsin Central, based in Rosemont, IL., has 2,850 miles of track and track rights in Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, Michigan's Upper Peninsula, and Ontario. The deal announced January 30, 2001 would "secure a link" connecting Chicago and Superior, Wis., to Canadian National's network across Canada, Canadian National said. The rail industry in the United States had been going through a whirlwind of consolidations, some of which created severe traffic disruptions. Last year, U.S. regulatory authorities rejected Canadian National's plan to merge with Burlington Northern Santa Fe railway to create North America's largest rail company in a deal worth $6.2 billion.
