Keeping a Lookout |
| Description: |
The rusty, battered old caboose/waycar/hack/crummy/whatever you want to call it is one of a dwindling handful of such cars still employed by Class I railroads in late 2020. |

CNW caboose, and a vintage crossing signal that was once as common as weeds along ex-CNW tracks, now the last of their kind. |

Shoving across a small timber bridge approaching Najacht Road |
| Description: |
After setting out their tank car for Plenco, YSB52 continues on shoving north of Sheboygan proper. This small local freight train only ventures on to this section of the line as needed, in territory that once served C&NW passenger trains between Chicago/Milwaukee and Green Bay. |

UP 1478 shoves across Garton Road |
| Description: |
While not quite as rare as wigwags, just plain crossing signals with incandescent lights and a mechanical bell are getting to be kind of unusual these days. Nearly everything is getting gates, giant L.E.D. lightheads and e-bells now. |

Boarded Up |
| Description: |
This is how the UP Shoreline Subdivison ends...at a red board just north of the County FF crossing. The Sheboygan local only comes to Haven as needed to deliver lumber for Richco, which is located south of the crossing. Technically they could cross the road, but there's almost no reason for them to unless they had way more cars than usual to set aside north of the spur switch. Beyond the red board, the track continues for another mile or so in an overgrown state, and ends at the Manitowoc County line. CN owned the line north of there, but abandoned south of Newton a few years ago. |

Lonely Outpost |
| Description: |
There's not much to Haven, Wisconsin. Just a handful of houses, businesses and township buildings near the railroad crossing on County FF. One of those is Richco Structures, which is the only reason the Union Pacific local freight train out of Sheboygan still makes appearances along this section of the line which once hosted C&NW passenger trains between Milwaukee and Green Bay. |

The partially dismantled remains of another stub track are between the main and the Richco spur...not sure what that was ever used for. |

A Geep, four boxcars and a caboose |
| Description: |
To the right, behind the engine is a small portion of the Cargill (formerly Schrier) malt plant. The spur to it comes off the Kohler branch (former Sheboygan & Mississippi RR), down a steep hill and passes under the bridge as it crosses New Jersey Avenue to reach the plant. |
