Limestone
Limestone moved from Escanaba to Empire mine from the CNW era through the WC era into the CN. Sometime in the CN era this business was lost to trucks as the limestone was unloaded at Marquette and trucked to both Empire and Tilden. It was always neat to catch a train with limestone loads heading up to the mines. WC 7507 and 7505 have 108 cars trailing them on SORE 2 at Little Lake on July 25, 1999.
