| Title: |
Danbury |
| Description: |
Looking east towards the railroad, you can see the large pile of pine logs awaiting loading. I think the Standard Oil company probably received cars by rail at one time, but pulpwood was the only thing left in the 1970s and 80s. |

Looking south down the main, from near the NSS, you can see the house track and siding where the pulpwood loads were switched for many years. |

North Danbury |
| Description: |
Looking south at the NSS, you can see that Soo Line kept things up, even on marginal branchlines. There is a switch broom and the track is much better than most CNW/Milwaukee lines in Wisconsin. |

Soo Line St. Croix River crossing |
| Description: |
The Soo Line had 3 river xings in about 50 miles and this was the northern most in Danbury Wi and the only one that is abandoned. This is looking north from Wisconsin into Minnesota on the Danbury Sub just a year or so before the tracks were removed to Superior. This is now about a 100 mile recreational trail. |

Danbury main line |
| Description: |
This is looking south near where the passenger station sat until the late 1960s. If you look on the left you can see the remnants of a wye that was here at some point, and probably removed decades before. |
