Western Railroad Discussion > Soo / WC in MarquetteDate: 02/27/17 19:29 Soo / WC in Marquette Author: yooperfan When was the former Soo trackage into Marquette Mich abandoned? Who pulled the plug - WC or CN? I grew up in Marquette and spent many enjoyable hours watching the Soo switch their small yard.

I rode excursion trains on former DSS&A trackage from Marquette to Newberry and Marquette to Baraga in the 1990's (after receiving a heads-up from my aunt, who lives in Marquette). The following book probably contains all of the answers to your questions:
Gaertner, John T. (2009). The Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic Railway: A History of the Lake Superior District's Primary Iron Ore Hauler. Bloomington, Indiana: Indiana University Press. 349 pp. ISBN 978-0-253-35192-0. Date: 02/28/17 19:05 Re: Soo / WC in Marquette Author: toledopatch I visited the Marquette area several times around 2000-2001 at the end of WC. The trackage into downtown Marquette was already long gone by then.
