Nostalgia & History > Escanaba and Lake Superior late winter Chase

This is in Upper peninsula of Michigan.  Rail line that reached paper mill in Ontonogn on the shore of Lake Superior.   The line extended down to a connection with CN at Green Bay.

NICE!
I believe my last visit to the U.P. was in October 1986. Catching anything on the fly was nearly impossible.
I always thought it would have been interesting to make a dedicated railfan trip. That never happened.
While I spotted bits and pieces these photos are very interesting.
Thanks,
