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. |

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. |
