Editing Escanaba, Michigan (section)

==Railroads==
The Escanaba area has been serviced by several railroads. The former [[Chicago & Northwestern Railroad]] connected [[Green Bay, Wisconsin|Green Bay]] to their main system around the same time that they built their mainline to Escanaba. The [[Milwaukee Road|CMSP&P]] otherwise known as the [[Milwaukee Road]] connected Escanaba to their system shortly thereafter. In 1898, the [[Escanaba and Lake Superior Railroad|Escanaba & Lake Superior]] owned by Issac Stephenson constructed a line from its connection to the [[Milwaukee Road]]. Both the [[Chicago and North Western Transportation Company|C&NW]] and the [[Milwaukee Road|CMSP&P]] ran passenger service to the Escanaba area as well. The [[Chicago and North Western Transportation Company|C&NW]] also connected to the [[Duluth, Missabe & Iron Range|Duluth Missabe & Iron Range]] railroad in Escanaba. The [[Chicago and North Western Transportation Company|C&NW]] would acquire the [[Milwaukee Road|CMSP&P]]'s trackage in Escanaba and [[Wells Township, Delta County, Michigan|Wells]]. With the creation of the [[Wisconsin Central Ltd.|Wisconsin Central]] railroad, most of the lines in Escanaba were unified in a single operation with the exception of the [[Duluth, Missabe and Iron Range Railway|DMIR]] and the [[Escanaba and Lake Superior Railroad|E&LS]]. In 2004, when [[Canadian National Railway|CN]] controlled the [[Wisconsin Central Ltd.|WC]], the DMIR sold to Canadian National. As of April 2021, just the E&LS and CN remain. CN owns the last two yards in Escanaba, being the Gladstone Yard, and the Escanaba Ore Docks.
