I did find a map but its not a very good one but it shows the line ending at Grantburg but it might have hooked up with another RRs track at that point.

Found more photos of railroad activity in Grantsburg tonight while looking the Grantsburg "fan page" on facebook.com

The first picture says it was taken on 7/14/1912. The rest are unknown.

it was because of the Grantsburg Branch that NP 328 survived scraping (it is now in pieces at Jackson St. Roundhouse awaiting repairs) Before the line to Taylor's Falls was torn up, the train with the 328 leading would leave Rush City for Wyoming, then to Taylor's Falls, then back to Wyoming and Rush City, then to Grantsburg and back to Rush City. The 328 was saved because the bridge over the St. Croix to Grantsburg was too light to handle anything else the NP had.
