Those are not new finds and have already been posted here before.

That was over two years ago. I don't memorize every single post posted in the forum.

That is common when a majority of things posted in the forum involve streetview. :Wink: I highly doubt that the majority of them have been posted in the past. :Wink:

I saw this on the Abandoned Rails Facebook group today. Here is an abandoned crossing in Durand, Wisconsin with very old and weathered crossbucks and exempt signs!
https://www.google.com/maps/@44.6197884 ... 1664?hl=en
https://www.google.com/maps/@44.619868, ... 1664?hl=en

Here is a very interesting little bridge!
https://www.google.com/maps/@44.6232854 ... 1664?hl=en

Here is an interesting crossing. All of the signage is gone.
https://www.google.com/maps/@44.6238032 ... 1664?hl=en
https://www.google.com/maps/@44.6237334 ... 1664?hl=en

Here is another abandoned crossing and a switch.
https://www.google.com/maps/@44.6244241 ... 1664?hl=en
https://www.google.com/maps/@44.6244965 ... 1664?hl=en

I wonder if the tracks were removed after this?
https://www.google.com/maps/@44.6251983 ... 1664?hl=en

Here is the end of the line with an abandoned depot!
https://www.google.com/maps/@44.6264346 ... 1664?hl=en

I decided to follow the line back in the other direction and I came across this interesting private crossing!
https://www.google.com/maps/@44.5836652 ... 1664?hl=en

Here is a location of a former crossing on WI-35. Hard to tell if it was paved over or removed.
https://www.google.com/maps/@44.4353295 ... 6656?hl=en
https://www.google.com/maps/@44.4353332 ... 6656?hl=en

Back in 2008 the tracks were more overgrown. Other than that the "crossing" wasn't really different back then.
https://www.google.com/maps/@44.4353431 ... 1664?hl=en

Looks like the other track is now less overgrown.
https://www.google.com/maps/@44.434974, ... !1e3?hl=en

Former diamond.
https://www.google.com/maps/@44.4284048 ... !1e3?hl=en

You can see where there use to be a bridge over the Mississippi River.
https://www.google.com/maps/@44.4049325 ... !1e3?hl=en

Looks like the line broke off the mainline somewhere in this area.
https://www.google.com/maps/@44.3970434 ... !1e3?hl=en

I tried to see if this line is on Abandon Rails.com but it isn't.

Interesting. Looks like they might be on a siding.
