A last look at the Milwaukee Roads 1910 built bridge across Eight Mile Creek. The bridge will be replaced within the next month. The pavement in the foreground is County Highway FF. This is a very interesting converging of the road, railroad and creek. |

Soo Line Depot |
| Description: |
A Soo Line depot still stands in Owen. The building has some new modern windows installed, which would seem to indicate it will be used for quite some time. At Owen, this former Wisconsin Central (Soo Line) R.o.W. diverges to send traffic to either to St. Paul or Duluth. Since CN took over the modern Wisconsin Central, the line to Duluth has greatly increased in traffic volume as it has become part of their Trans-con line to Chicago, and beyond to New Orleans (via IC purchased line). |

Soo Line Station |
| Description: |
Any doubts of this location are put to rest by the civic pride shown on the water tower. Owen is an active railroad town with plenty to see. The line splits here to run to St. Paul via Chippewa Falls or to head north to Duluth. |
