CN 2190
Title:  CN 2190
Description:  After waiting for a couple hours hoping to get a shot of a train crossing the Menominee River, I had to take a walk to meet up with the family. About ten minutes after I left the bridge to head over to the parking lot near the station, an east bound came through. Here it is approaching the Hall Avenue grade crossing.

Chicago & Northwestern station
Title:  Chicago & Northwestern station
Description:  Looking toward Hall Ave at the former CNW station currently used by the CN. Marinette was a two railroad town, served by the Milwaukee Road and the CNW. The Escanaba and Lake Superior replaced the Milwaukee's presence in town. The CNW was replaced by the Union Pacific, very briefly, who in turn spun it off to the Wisconsin Central. The WC was then bought by the Canadian National, who still runs through town and works with the ELS. The ELS line to here from Crivitz is usually plugged with stored cars, yet the ELS keeps a switcher in the area (engine house located across the river in Menominee, MI) to work the industries. Sources indicate that the switching in Marinette and Menominee is mainly done by ELS crews, with the CN taking care of the incoming and outgoing traffic.

Wooden Trestle Spanning a Branch of the Menominee River
Title:  Wooden Trestle Spanning a Branch of the Menominee River
Description:  On the Wisconsin side of the Menominee River, the CNW ran along Water Street and had this branch come off to access an island with multiple water front businesses at this Great Lakes port city. In the early 20th Century, there was a myriad of tracks in this industrial area. Today, there is but the remains of one spur that runs to a Waupaca Foundry facility. It is out of service, and mostly torn up. This trestle remains as the most visible piece of that line.

Spur into Kimberly Clark
Title:  Spur into Kimberly Clark
Description:  One of two spurs leading into the Kimberly Clark mill in Marinette, WI. This one comes off the former Milwaukee Road line from Crivitz to Marinette and crosses highway 180 just before the gates to the mill property. Though the line the spur branches from runs between Crivitz and Marinette, the line is used only as a switchback into the plant. The line is plugged with stored cars between the cities, and cars for Marinette come from the former CNW line now part of CN. The ELS does the majority of switching in the area circa 2015.
