The Wisconsin Northern Railroad (AAR reporting marks WN), is the trade name employed by Progressive Rail to operate two contigous segments of railroad in Wisconsin. On November 3, 2004, Progressive Rail leased a section of former Wisconsin Central Railway from the Canadian National Railway to be operated by Wisconsin Northern. On November 23, 2004, WN's operations were extended with the lease of additional Union Pacific Railroad (formerly Chicago and North Western Railway) tracks. Interchange of traffic for both track segments takes place with Union Pacific at Norma, Wisconsin, a northern section of Chippewa Falls.

Major commodities handled include: resins, scrap materials, lumber, logs, fertilizer, steel, feed grade grains, and tallow.
