Farthest north you can get! |
| Description: |
This is the Algoma Central train to Hearst getting ready to depart for Ste. St. Marie. The appx 300 mile journey goes through some of the most beautiful country I have ever taken a train through. This train is actually essential for many people that live along the line, as there are no roads in many locations where the tracks run. |

Strike training train |
| Description: |
In the late winter of 1986-87, Soo Line conducted some management training operations from Withrow to Somerset, WI in anticipation of a strike and used this empty ballast train and a couple GP38-2s and ran several trips over the high bridge. The line had been out of service for the good part of a year, so this was the first train to cross and the line then went dormant again until WC took over later in 1987. |

Soo Line local |
| Description: |
On the Twin Cities to Chicago main line in 1986-1987, there was very, little traffic west of Stevens Point, as the Soo shut the line down after the Milwaukee Road merger. This local served the industries at New Richmond and headed back east. You can see the welded rail main is engulfed with weeds, and alot of us wondered if maybe this was the end of this line. |
