The Tomahawk Railway (AAR reporting marks TR), owned by the Genesee and Wyoming railroad, is the shortest railroad line in Wisconsin. Four miles of rail line, two locomotives and 17 employees are all that's left of an old logging railroad built on sweat and dreams.[1] The main function of this railroad is to bring raw materials, including coal and waste paper to the Packaging Corporation of America's massive containerboard mill. Finished products are delivered world via a connection with the Canadian National railroad.
