Location: Cunard, MI
Cunard was located on the C&NW's line between Powers and Iron Mountain. It was located at milepost 7.8, about 2 miles west of Hermansville in Menominee County.
A location 3/10's of a mile west of Cunard was Glavin where a 1,365' passing siding was located. [CNWV]
Notes
The railroad may have had a siding here earlier but it was gone by 1917. The railroad had a shanty and mail crane at this location. The shanty was replaced by a car body station in 1917. They also had a section tool house here and a gas house. A westbound facing signal is west of the depot but the purpose is not known. [CNWV]
This was in section 29 of T39N-R27W.
