isconsin,
where the air is so fresh, here in the legendary Northwoods.
We're about to introduce you to a determined family
that never says "we can't."
And over the last 25 years, they have created
some of the most unique rail venues in North America.
-Thank you. [ Indistinct conversations ]
-Dining, lounge, and sleeping cars
bring back fond memories of America's railroad past,
mostly only seen in history books and old movies today.
But a family in the small town of Trego, Wisconsin,
have re-created parts of that era,
along with introducing an array of new venues,
to catch the imagination of current generations.
-What you'll find here at the Wisconsin Great Northern
is absolutely unique in the industry.
Different services, different equipment.
Every time you come back,
I can pretty much guarantee it'll be a different experience.
-Different than any other tourist railroad
in North America
when you experience all the venues they offer,
with wine tastings and a historic dome car,
pizza trains for the kids, fine dining for the adults,
a one-of-a-kind bed-and-breakfast,
and on the horizon are a restoration of a streamliner
that seemed more a sky-flying rocket ship
than railroad-bound.
-People want something unique to experience.
And so that's what we're trying to present to the public,
is a unique opportunity that they can't get anyplace else,
whether it be by the service we provide
or by the equipment that we operate,
that it's different from everybody else.
-The Wisconsin Great Northern Railroad
has been running since 1997.
In those early days, it was a multitask operation
running on fumes.
-There were times when we just simply didn't have the money,
and she'd sell tickets in the ticket office, hand me
20 bucks out of the till. I'd run to the gas station
and get 15 gallons of diesel fuel,
drive around the back side of the train, and pour it in.
And that was enough to make the trip.
-Sheer persistence helped the railroad grow,
along with the elimination of a certain word.
-There is no such word as "can't."
You may say, "Oh, I can't."
Well, you just find a way to do.
And so it might be a convoluted way of doing something,
but you try your darndest to find a way to get it done.
-I don't recognize the word "can't."
Don't tell me it can't be done
because we'll show you how fast it can be done.
-Greg and Mardell's son, Alexander,
has grown up around trains his whole life,
and because of that, he bluntly dismisses
more popular teen pursuits.
-Cars suck. Trains rule.
And sports are overrated.
All right. We are now coming into the Namekagon River
and Veazie Springs.
-Like his parents,
Alexander wears a lot of hats on this railroad.
Tonight, he's a server and is impressing his guests.
-He was an anomaly.
An amazing young man.
-Yeah, another day of Alexander fan club.
-You see a little bit of that funny, ha-ha sarcasm.
He's always learned sarcasm. He's learned it good.
I like to describe him as my 83-year-old farmer.
He is very straight-faced around people
he doesn't necessarily know.
-Just a sponge.
He just picks up data and information
about the various pieces of equipment
like I can't even imagine.
He knows more about the equipment than I do.
-The family stays very busy doing a variety of jobs
for each of its unique trips.
There is one constant in all of them, though --
experiencing the splendor and beauty of the Great Northwoods.
-You can't beat the view. It's so beautiful in the fall,
especially when the tamaracks start to change.
-Through the pastoral landscape and deep woods, guests
take in all the beauty this trip offers.
One of the favorite spots is so serene and peaceful,
the train comes to a stop to allow all
to take in the natural wonders of the Namekagon River.
-When we stopped at the watershed earlier,
we just thought it was like someone had painted the sky
and the brush.
Like, it was just so beautiful with the sunset
and the moon over top.
I just love every moment of it, honestly.
-And what could add to these moments?
How about a meal prepared
and served in your own private dining room?
-The dinner was amazing.
It was just beyond expectations, honestly,
to get to spend time with family here,
to look out and see this painterly landscape
that just glistens and is golden with autumn light.
I just love every moment of it.
-Fine dining is just one of the many options here
on the Wisconsin Great Northern Railroad.
-Here's your pepperoni pizza, Mr. Van Camp.
-Thank you, Jose. The other is their pizza train,
and it is definitely a hit with families.
-It's very unique. The kids love it.
They get to go on a train,
and they get to have their favorite meal.
They are cheeseaholics, being from Wisconsin.
[ Laughs ]
It's very nice to have --
have this here and keep that in our culture.
-Speaking of culture,
the Wisconsin Great Northern Railroad
also offers a sophisticated wine and cheese pairing trip
aboard the Sky Parlour, a 1956 dome car
that was once part of the famed El Capitan
that operated from Chicago to Los Angeles
on the Santa Fe Railroad.
-It's definitely a rolling piece of history.
It's really neat to be on something like this.
Unique experience, for sure. The wine was great.
The train ride experience was awesome.
-The various train rides run about 2 1/2 hours.
And for many guests, they can't bear to leave.
So leave it to the Wisconsin Great Northern
to offer something for them to stay --
a unique experience with their bed-and-breakfast package,
where delighted travelers ride and dine
and get to sleep overnight in their historic cars.
-It way exceeded my expectations.
It was first-class all the way.
The staff was awesome.
Last night's supper --
The hors d'oeuvres, the drinks, the food was awesome
all the way to the end, to the dessert.
Then we had our own sleeping car.
It was awesome. [ Laughs ]
And it was a queen-sized bed. First-class, first-rate.
-After a restful night's sleep
in one of the beautiful railcar suites,
guests awake to the wonderful smells
of a country cooked breakfast,
compliments of Chef Greg, truly a Renaissance man.
Mmm.
Mmm-mmm-mmm.
-We believe that we are continuing to create the history
of these pieces of rolling stock.
100 years from now, hopefully these cars will still be here
and still be usable because of our efforts.
-Of course I'm proud of all of this.
How could you not be proud of it?
'Cause if I weren't proud of it, I wouldn't be a part of it.
-Thanks to Greg and Mardell and Alexander,
along with the rest of their staff,
you can be a part of something very special --
experiences that are created by a dedicated family,
preserving and presenting many one-of-a-kind railroad journeys
deep in the Northwoods of Wisconsin.
