Alligators on the prowl

In the 1980s the Lake Superior & Ishpeming had a great red paint scheme, U-boats and Alcos. Combine this with old ore cars and a northern Michigan setting and it was great. This shot shows three of the "Gators" on a loaded ore train near Empire Mine. At the time I was upset that the lead unit hadn't been repainted, but I'm okay with it now. June 28, 1986.
