Known as the Northeast Branch, this line was built about five miles to milepost 4.6 in 1911, and extended to Camp 15 in 1914. It was a single track branch line in Alger County. 

This line was built to harvest forest products.

The line was abandoned mostly in 1950, with the final junction trackage at Myren removed in 1965.
