Album Info:This is really a long branch, what is left of the Chicago & Northwestern line between Milwaukee and Green Bay. It sees 2-3 unit trains a week serving the coal power plant in Sheboygan. A nighttime wayfreight serves industries in the small towns along the way, and ferrys general freight to and from Sheboygan. A separate local switches out industries in town. A portion of the Shoreline Sub is also used by the Granville turn to access its own branch line at Wiscona.

Identity crisis
Title:  Identity crisis
Description:  About one-quarter of the C&NW logo on the nose was left intact when this locomotive was patched. That, coupled with the the easily visible CNW number (8816) on the engineer's side of the long hood make this particular locomotive a coveted catch among C&NW fans. Almost as good as 8646 and 8701!

Boarded Up
Title:  Boarded Up
Description:  This is how the UP Shoreline Subdivison ends...at a red board just north of the County FF crossing. The Sheboygan local only comes to Haven as needed to deliver lumber for Richco, which is located south of the crossing. Technically they could cross the road, but there's almost no reason for them to unless they had way more cars than usual to set aside north of the spur switch. Beyond the red board, the track continues for another mile or so in an overgrown state, and ends at the Manitowoc County line. CN owned the line north of there, but abandoned south of Newton a few years ago.
