The Abbotsford and Northeastern Railroad (A&NE) was a railroad company in
Wisconsin that operated around the turn of the 20th century.
The company was organized on April 12, 1889, with headquarters in
Milwaukee.[1]
In 1899, work crews, primarily made up of factory workers from
Marshfield, were out extending the line to connect
Fairchild and
Merrill. The work was expected to be completed by the start of winter, and speculation arose over consolidating the A&NE with the
Fairchild and Northeastern Railroad.[2] In 1902, the A&NE was assessed one of the top 15 increases in taxes over the previous year, having to pay $18.20 to the state.[3]
The A&NE line eventually extended from
Abbotsford to
Athens, a distance of 15.16 miles (24.40 km).[1][4][5]
