This postcard image was taken in 1910. The GB&W crossed over the Soo Line at Amherst Junction. Originally a grade separation, the trestle shown was replaced by a concrete viaduct by the early 1920s.
Wisconsin Central 4-4-0 #101 is stopped at the unique two-level station. Although the basic structure is long gone, traces of it still remain almost one hundred years later -- including the concrete foundations of the Soo Line shelter on the lower level and the diagonal path which cuts up the hill.
