Location: Menominee, MI - C&NW Downtown Yard

The C&NW had a yard operation downtown, surrounding their original depot. The yard had approximately eight tracks and included a car repair house, freight depot on Carpenter Street, auto loading platform, boiler house, coal shed, warehouse, lime house, and other structures.


Notes

The C&NW depot was located on Maude Street, between Marinette Avenue and William Avenue, though the names of these streets have changed and are numbered. The station had a brick platform and the depot was of brick. The streets around this were macadam paving.

The depot was later moved to Wells Avenue and 2nd Avenue.
