A summer 2002 photograph of the old Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic grade and trestle just outside of Munising Junction. The trestle is crossing the Lake Superior & Ishpeming. The line was pulled up about 1 year ago. [Dave Fulkerth photo] |
The photo to the right is another shot of the overpass from the former LS&I main line. This route, which is still in place and used by the CN/WC, was a part of LS&I's eastern Main Line. After LS&I ceased operation between this location and Marquette, they operated this as a severed branch line to service the Kimberly Clark plant in Munising. They kept an Alco RS-3 locomotive on the branch and interchanged with the Soo Line at Munising Jct. A very small yard was located on the LS&I just south of this bridge and a wye track connected the yard with the Soo Line main. [Jim Fulkerth photo]. |
