CN 5646 |
| Description: |
A CN local passes the site of the former depot and approaches Gasset Rd. as it pulls 9 cars northwest via former SOO rails at Dunbar, WI on 30 Sep. '14. Not sure where train originated, but it was headed for Goodman, WI. Gasset Rd. is a remnant of the Dunbar & Wausaukee right of way, which formed a junction with the SOO just out of frame to the left. The depot was built by the SOO ca. 1887, a photograph of the depot and the junction can be found at: http://www.midcontinent.org/imagedb/postcard_detail.php?record_id=411. Supposedly the depot was moved to Laona where it is used by the Lumberjack Steam Train. The well-groomed ATV/snowmobile trail used to be Depot Rd. |

CN 5646 |
| Description: |
CN local emerges from the forest into a small clearing as it hauls 9 cars northeast via the former SOO rails at Kremlin, WI on 1 Oct. '14. Train was heading back to MI after servicing Specialty Granules, Inc. (SGI) at Kremlin and setting out 24 cars for the E&LS at Pembine, WI. The train is starting to descend a long grade down to the bridge over the Menominee River. I don't know the percentage of the gradient, but it appears quite a bit steeper than average (not so much here but closer to the river). |
