Sireo |
| Description: |
There was a siding at Siren, that I am sure had not seen a meet since the 70s or maybe 60s! There was a little bit of business left here, and you can see the MP 83 sign on one of the telegraph poles. |

Soo Line local |
| Description: |
On the Twin Cities to Chicago main line in 1986-1987, there was very, little traffic west of Stevens Point, as the Soo shut the line down after the Milwaukee Road merger. This local served the industries at New Richmond and headed back east. You can see the welded rail main is engulfed with weeds, and alot of us wondered if maybe this was the end of this line. |

Soo Line in the noruh woods |
| Description: |
I have another album of photos on this line, but I liked this one for the pole line and nice, clean snow as the train headed north to Danbury with a few more empties for log loading. This was the last full winter that the trains ran to Danbury. |
