Location: Carpenter Mine Junction, MI
Carpenter Mine Junction (editor name assigned) was a wye and associated tracks of the C&NW Shafer Branch and the MILW Carpenter Branch. It was located in Section 36 T43N-R34W in Iron County, one mile west of the Tobin and Carpenter Mines.
The Shafer Branch (originally C&NW) and the Dunn Branch (originally C&NW), crossed over the MILW Carpenter Branch here. All three lines became joint trackage. The newer MILW Carpenter Spur crossed the C&NW Dunn Branch in an underpass south of the wye. [MILV] As of 1918.
