The 400 State Trail is a Шаблон:Convert rail trail between Reedsburg and Elroy, Wisconsin. It is designed for foot, bicycle, equestrian, snowmobile traffic. It is designated as a multi-use trail, offering recreational access to the routes, and is open to the public.[1]

History

The original railway was constructed from Madison, Wisconsin to Winona, Minnesota, starting in 1870, by a predecessor of the Chicago and North Western Railway, the Baraboo Air Line Railroad Company. It was so named because of the straightness of the Air-line railroad route.[2] The railway became the route of the Minnesota 400, a named train of the C&NW that connected Chicago with Southern Wisconsin and Southern Minnesota.[3] It eventually became the route of the South Dakota destined Dakota 400.[3] The "400" trains of the C&NW were related to the C&NW flagship high-speed Twin Cities 400, which met the Minnesota 400 at Wyeville.[3]

The State of Wisconsin acquired the railway after it was abandoned by C&NW in 1988. After renovations, they opened the trail in 1993.[4] The trail's surface is crushed limestone.[5] The 400 Trail is one of four connecting bike trails in west-central Wisconsin that spans approximately one-third of the state. The trail is known for its rural scenery of the Baraboo River which it crosses eleven times.[6] It is part of the larger Wisconsin Bike Trail System, operated by the state of Wisconsin.

The five mile spur west to Hillboro, known as the Hillsboro State Trail, was formerly the Hillsboro and Northeastern Railway.[7] It joins the 400 State Trail just south from Union Center.
