Location: Humboldt Junction, MI
Humboldt Junction was originally the crossing of the east-west Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic Marquette to Ashland main line, and the Republic Branch of the Chicago & North Western from Clowry to Republic via Humboldt. When the DSS&A was pulled up between Winthrop Junction and here, this location became a new junction point for CN trains to gain access to their old line for locations west to Baraga.
When the Mineral Range reinstalled tracks to the Humboldt mineral processing facility, a new junction switch was established here.
