My grandfather told stories about living near RR tracks and the engineers threw coins to them as they went by. I know they lived on Spirit Falls Rd., Spirit Fall, WI, but I don't see a sign of railroad tracks near this road. They lived there between 1913 and 1924. I would like to know where the tracks were and where the property could have been located. In the 1990's there are only a handful of homes on this road.

You can find a good history of the line (Marinette, Tomahawk & Western) in Lincoln County on the following link:

Sounds like the tracks have been gone for quite a while. I can't speak to the actual route alignment, though.

Good luck with your research!
