An ancient grade crossing at the intersection of a trail with the CN, former SOO rails, near Milepost 328 in the Navarino Wildlife Area, Town of Navarino, Shawano Co., WI on 11 Oct. '14. Years ago it was a primitive road but now it is mostly a hiking trail, the gate at the trailhead is normally closed to prevent motorized vehicle traffic. Vehicles can no longer (easily) cross here, the railroad ties and gravel that facilitated the crossing have been removed, relatively recently, but the old crossbucks and whistle posts remain (the train still sounds its horn too). |
