I would say 95% of our interchange is in Green Bay with the CN. We have interchanges at Pembine, Marinette, Iron Mountain, North Escanaba, and Nestoria. We used to send pulpwood for the Duluth area west from Pembine, but the track is out of service from Argonne to Rhinelander. There is a local that works the track from Powers to Crandon. Of the other interchanges, only Marinette and North Escanaba are currently being used. We get woodpulp for Kimberly Clark in Marinette and scrap paper for Great Lakes Paper in Menominee which de-inks it and recycles it. The interchange in North Escanaba receives cars for our car shop and the occasional car of LPG for the only remaining local customer in Escanaba.
