Depot museum and balloon track remnant overview |
| Description: |
The Milwaukee Road (now WSOR's) short branch line to Fox Lake, Wisconsin used to end in a circular balloon track to serve freight customers as well as the passenger depot. Although most of the line is still in place, it is used only for car storage, and the balloon track has been abandoned. However, the depot has been turned into a museum, and a short segment of the balloon track and one of the Milwaukee Road-style crossbucks for the grade crossing have been left in place in front of it. |

| Description: |
Tracks removed except for rails in the crossing, and signals remain for now. In 2006 Iowa River Railroad revived this ex-C&NWM&St.L line that had been out of service for several years. However, that did not last long and IARR itself abandoned the line in 2012. |

The old "Plymouth Junction" |
| Description: |
Ex-C&NW rails still rust in the grass from the Thayer Street crossing to the former crossing with the ex-Milwaukee Road line. The CNW bridges over the Mullet River and Mill Street are just barely visible in the dense overgrowth to the left of the ex-MILW bridges which carry the present-day WSOR line north to Elkhart Lake. CNW through service on this line west of here to Fond du Lac terminated decades ago. |

End of the line for the old C&NW |
| Description: |
Looking northwest from Webb Avenue. The heavily overgrown rails of the one-time Chicago & Northwestern Chicago-Twin Cities mainline continue for about another 1,600' or so. Until about 2009-10 there was one customer at the end of track, just across WIS-33, but it hasn't been used since then. C&NW abandoned the portion of the line from there to Camp Douglas in 1987. Within the last couple of years, the signals at this and the other two remaining crossings to the west were taken out. It was rumored that the tracks would be ripped out last year as well, but so far that hasn't occurred. |
