Lake Superior Railroad Museum equipment waits to get picked up by the BNSF for delivery to the NSSR after spending the winter at the CN (DMIR) Proctor and (DWP) Pokegama yards. This shot was not e... (more)

I tried to get as many shots of this set as I could, because like the "common Missabe and WC", they will be gone before we know it.

I arrived with LITERALLY 5 seconds to run out and take this shot. 3 beautiful orange motors drag limestone up Proctor Hill and are shown here digging into the steep grade.

Most people find this hotel to be an eyesore, but who knows when it will get torn down, or what it will look like in 50 years? Its too bad 2 mines are shutdown so no ore traffic moving the last fe... (more)

A newcomer to the Missabe, B&LE #906 leads sister #909 and an IC unit down to the docks. Ok ok CN this was a pretty good consist. Just need a third BLE unit!

Limestone heads up the hill behind some nice, and soon to be replaced power.

Just when you thought CN couldn't degrade the Missabe any further...
