Location: Marquette, MI - Dead River Branch Crossing (DSS&A/M&SE)

Marquette railroad tower This was the crossing of the Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic Dead River branch and the Marquette & Southeastern Railway in the City of Marquette.

Image info: Top, this is a very small interlocking tower identified by [MTU] at being located in Marquette with no other information. The size of the installation suggests that this is two small branch lines and there is water in the background. We have placed the photo here, but the location has not been confirmed. Requires further research.
