Antoine, MI - Antoine Tower
Antoine Tower is mentioned in a labor agreement with the telegrapher's union in 1918. The location of this crossing was in section 19 of T40N-R30W. It was a three way crossing of the C&NW Loop Line, the CM&StP line to Norway and the Escanaba, Iron Mountain & Western branch south to the Chapin mine (which became the C&NW ore line).
