The M&N constructed a 24.8-mile (some references state 23.9-mile) branch line from Ellis Junction, Wis. (now Crivitz, Wis.), to Marinette, Wis., and Menominee, Mich., in 1884. The branch is currently operated by the Escanaba & Lake Superior (E&LS or ELS). Most of it is currently used for car storage, but the portions in Marinette and Menominee are still active.
