Pembine Wis..Soo Line
[Note that someone is using the standpipe to add water while someone else is adding coal.]

Soo was the east/west route, and Milwaukee was the north/south route. The Soo Line is now the CN, and Escanaba & Lake Superior owns the Milwaukee route.

Soo Line-Milwaukee Road joint depot in Pembine, WI.  The depot was built around 1914.  In 2019 it burned down due to arson.
Larry Riedinger: In the late 90s, stopped by and within a few minutes an E&LS SD9 and a WC SD45 did a meet. Had a nice chat with the WC engineer!

If it burned in 2019, then the satellite image is at least five years old.
