Weed Controlling Spraying on Wisconsin & Southern Railroad Corridors

railroad between two areas of trees

The Wisconsin & Southern Railroad sprays weed and brush along railroad tracks two times a year, generally in spring and fall. The City of Madison is not responsible for spraying weeds along the railroad.

Please send any questions to the Wisconsin & Southern Railroad at 414-438‐8820, ext. 4211.

The WSR is supposed to notify the City of spraying. When WSR notifies the City, we notify the public via email. If you would like to be notified when WSR is spraying, please sign up for the email list.
