| Remnants of a long disused spur coming down from the high line of the CN, former SOO, rails at Amherst, WI on 4 May '15. This spur used to cross Wilson St. at grade parallel to the elevated main line, visible behind the trees on the right, then split into three spurs to serve numerous local industries. One of the switch stands is visible background left. One of the spurs formed a large almost 180 degree arc that swung around to cross John St., George St., Main St. (along the north side of the Amherst Opera House) and over the dam of the Waupaca River to serve Jackson Milling Co. at the intersection of Mill St. and Pond St. |
