LSI0036
While shooting at the Lake Superior & Ishpeming ore dock at Presque Isle, MI on May 27, 1982, we were informed that they would be be taking one unit and heading a mile or so to downtown Marquette to retrieve an empty boxcar from a beer distributorship. This mile or so was remaining trackage from the abandoned line to Munsing, and to my knowledge the beer distributor was the last remaining customer. The trackage was in poor condition, even for a 4-axle unit, much less a U25C. So poor in fact, that they sent the car knockers down with them to rerail the unit if (or when) it got on the ground. Here U25C No. 2500 is in the process of running around the boxcar and passing under the approach to the abandoned Soo Line ore dock. Thankfully, it didn't get on the ground that day.
