| The log storage area of Marion Plywood Corp. and Great Lakes Veneer, Inc. mill, 222 S. Parkview Ave. (originally Railroad Ave.), Marion, WI on 9 Jul. '14, as seen from the Marion Area Historical Society grounds. The C&NW rails that serviced this mill ran behind the blue silos. They received direct rail service until 1982, when that rail line was abandoned. The part of the mill beyond the silos were additions added after the rails were pulled up. They still receive rail service, albeit indirectly, from CN via a combination of former C&NW and GB&W rails at New London, WI. Additional information about this location, facility, and rail service can be found in the description of this album if you are interested. |
