Milwaukee's 3.5 mile Giberson Branch to a limestone quarry

(Satellite information is below)

Eric Berg commented on his post: "The 1942 track charts (in blue) show at Coxton a switch leading towards the "Giberson Branch", which is not shown in the 1953 track chart (in tan)."

Steven Stafford commented on a post
