ATLANTIC AND GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY

This is the engine terminal for Milwaukee Yard.  The terminal can handle about 15 units and has a wye in the background for turning engines and cars, To the right is the main yard.  The switcher in the foregound is on the west yard lead. The building in the background in the Campbell Soup Company which is a frequent shipper on  the AGW.

This is the current North Island. This will be replaced by the new North Island in the plan on a following page.  A new interest in Lake Michigan Carferries required a larger port to handle the increased traffic.

This is the benchwork for the new North Island.  The carferry SS Badger will dock in the notch in the benchwork on a rolling cart so the boat can actually move in and out of the port. My brother John's BNP railroad will also have access to the Port and the carferry. You can see the old North Island in the background.  Look for the Cargill Elevator in the picture above for a perspective.
