UPDATE – Reminders of the Main Line – Fort Howard to the Menominee River

New Year’s Day 2021, what to do, what to do? Why not follow the former Milwaukee & Northern (M&N) main line north from Green Bay, in the hope of catching an Escanaba & Lake Superior (E&LS or ELS) train plying those historic rails? Unfortunately, I did not encounter any moving trains, but I managed to capture a few interesting photographs. Some of those photographs are the basis of this update to Reminders of the Milwaukee & Northern Main Line – Green Bay to the Menominee River. It was still great to spend some time above the tension line.
