UP Rail Map?

Unread post by MiddleMI »

Does anyone know where I can find a good and up-to-date rail map of the Upper Peninsula, preferably something with an inset showing the area around Ishpeming and Negaunee? I know the area around there is quite confusing as to who owns what and where the changes happen.

See the link in the first post of this thread. The map is fully up to date and most of the train info should be accurate, too. I will need to update once Watco takes over the Newberry/Munising line.

Question, I noticed on some lines, they are the same color, but you get different names without knowing where the division is. For instance, there is CN Patridge but just a little further down the line it changes to CN Partridge to Little Lake. Are these different lines?

Nope, I thought I had the actual subdivision listen if you click on each line segment. The segments are broken down to make creating and modifying the map easier.

Both of those segments are a part of the CN’s Marquette Range Sub, for example.
