| Description: |
A decent sized cut of cars await disposition in the former CNW yard at Marinette. The railroad presence is not as prevalent as it once was during the Milwaukee Road and Chicago and Northwestern era in town. There are still a handful of industries between Menominee and Marinette to be served. In fact, one old spur was recently re-furbished and has been brought back into service along the water front. |

| Description: |
A look generally north into the former CNW yard. The depot is still standing and in use by the CN. It is located out of sight around a curve just beyond the end of visible tracks in this photo. There are four tracks on this end of the yard, but only three on the other side of Mary Street. Mary Street is the road cutting across the tracks between the two cuts of cars. |

Marinette Station Sign |
| Description: |
Between Carney Avenue and State Street, the former Chicago and Northwestern right of way ran along Spruce Street. This area was once the site of their roundhouse and turntable. In the Fall of 2015, there was some clean up work going on in the area. The State Street grade crossing can be seen down the line. |

Menominee River Bridge |
| Description: |
Looking from the Wisconsin side of the Menominee River toward Michigan shows there is some wild life on Boom Island. The bridge was built by the CNW which the Milwaukee Road later acquired rights to use to get to Menominee, MI. Menominee is just across the river. |

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 |
| 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. |

Marinette Marine Spur |
| Description: |
The spur leading from the former CNW yard to the shipyard was reconditioned in 2013. The shipyard, owned by the Italian firm Fincantieri Marine Group Co., is the home of Marinette Marine. Fincantieri finalized the purchase of the shipyard in 2009, after which, many improvements were made, including the rail spur, to improve production. |

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. |

Roosevelt Road Grade Crossing |

Pulling the camera zoom back a bit gives a better idea of the surrounding area at Roosevelt Road and Highway 41. I really like the old line pole standing watch along the line. This sentinels are becoming rare. |
