Rails Through the North Country: LS&I, WC, E&LS, Michigan Limestone Operations (2003)

In this video, C. Vision takes you to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and northeast Wisconsin to view railroad operations of the Lake Superior & Ishpeming, Wisconsin Central (Canadian National), Escanaba & Lake Superior, and Michigan Limestone Operations. We cover the LS&I across their entire system, with GE U30C and C30-7 locomotives handling heavy trains of taconite pellets between the Empire and Tilden mines and the ore docks in Marquette, Michigan. The CN’s Wisconsin Central accesses the area on their network of former SOO, CNW, and DSS&A trackage. We’ll see WC taconite trains, locals, and switch jobs with an interesting mix of power in Wisconsin Central and Canadian National paint. Next, we’ll move over to the Escanaba & Lake Superior Railroad to document their mainline operations between Channing, Michigan and Crivitz, Wisconsin. At the time of production, the E&LS was leasing two classic locomotives from the Lake Superior Railroad Museum. LTV 4211 (EMD F9) and SOO 700 (GP30) put on a fantastic show for our cameras, as we follow them along the railroad’s former Milwaukee Road trackage. As a special treat, we’ll climb aboard LTV 4211 for a cab ride between Crivitz and Pembine. Before we leave the E&LS, we head over to Escanaba to see ELS 300, a rare Baldwin RS-12, as it completes switching chores around Escanaba and Wells. To close out our show, we visit Michigan Limestone Operations to view Chicago & Illinois Midland SD20s hauling shuttle trains of limestone between the Port Inland Quarry and the crusher on Lake Michigan. We were not disappointed, as railroad operations were in high gear while we toured the property.
