DSS&A Mine Run
Certain dates ring a bell, in this case July 17. I'm two days late posting this shot from 58 years ago, July 17, 1958, of Baldwin 201. This shot and the scan isn't book publication quality but probably worth sharing on Flickr for posterity. It was taken on the same day as several of my LS&I steam shots at Ishpeming which appear in Dave Schauer's fine LS&I book. The exact location is unknown, so I've just called it Negaunee. This Ektachrome is somewhat corrected from the fading that affected most all those older E-4 process slides. And you may note it's the first shot on the roll, with a bit of light leak at the left. It may actually be in Ishpeming on the original line before the later bypass was built. Michigan iron ore hauling roads certainly had their own character quite different from the heavy duty latest development Minnesota roads. And the boxcar in the background carries the famous slogan "Route Superior Gateway for Superior Service".
