Easy? I had to cheat and look up the pic on RP. :lol: I never would have guessed that in a million years. Then again, I know nothing about Trout Lake.

Edit:

Cheater! :P

You are correct. I believe the line is still listed as in service, just haven't had a train in a while.

Here is a picture from better days.

upon further inspection, it appears the line is dormant. I thought the EL&S had a car shop, and other businesses they serve around escanaba? do they just switch and then interchange with the CN in Escanaba so theres no reason for traffic to go through Channing? Besides the line from Channing south, do any other parts of the EL&S in the UP see revenue trains? or is it just all storage?

Sorry guys but there are too many guesses going on simultaneously for me to keep track (pun :) ) of the answers.

Was this one answered yet?

Looks like Rose Center, on Milford Road, looking north up the Saginaw Sub. I could be wrong though.
