It was at this precise location on June 7, 1983 that I initially determined just how quickly one could get from the top of an embankment covered in taconite pellets, to the bottom. It was an interesting ride. The three Chicago & North Western C628's have just brought a train of empty jennies up from Escanaba, MI and spotted them for loading at Empire Mine. That task completed they are now passing Palmer Line Junction, near Negaunne, cab lite and enroute to Ishpeming, where they will take legal rest before returning with a train of loads.
