Former Junction of MILW and W&M at Iron Mountain, MI         
Looking south along the E&LS, former MILW, rails from E. H St. at Iron Mountain, MI on 3 Nov. '18. The remnants of the MILW yard can be seen to the right. The tracks curving off to the left are a rare remnant of the former W&M. This remnant is about 6,000 ft. long. A short section of track bridges the gap between the spot where the W&M rails were truncated long ago, and the western end of the truncated former C&NW, now CN, line from Powers, MI. I didn't realize the significance of the rails at left, if I had, I would have included that turnout in this photograph. ELS 3037 hides in the shadows next to the string of covered hoppers.
