Using this link that DaveO provided, the first three images are of special interest.
The first shows the beginning of the M&NE River Branch and a line from Lemon Lake to Henry, just as I suspected. If this blueprint is any kind of official, my suspicious are the line from Lemon Lake was built in or after 1909 as the River Branch was extended from near Marilla to Glengarry in 1903 and beyond to Buckley in 1904.
The second shows the interchange at Henry with all three lines, with the M&NE appearing to approach from the east, from MP 28.4 just SE of Copemish, as Mr. Meints suggests. I don't see a date on it but Mr. Meints data suggests the Betsey River Branch from MP 28.4 on the main only existed from 1900-1904.
The third image shows the same junction, sans the M&NE. I can't quite make out the dates, but I would guess that this was 1895-6 when the A&BR built through Henry to the AA near Copemish prior to the arrival of the M&NE.
.
This is an expanded area of the first 2015 map I posted showing both possible M&NE routes to Henry are shown in shades of purple and all of the A&BR.
Thanks again guys. I hope others find this interesting.
