Calumet Michigan Depot Area Then
It's TRAINS, plural, time at Calumet Michigan on January 28 1964. Somewhat of a traffic jam actually. Details? It started with the Copper Country Limited arriving with the MILW 32C and 100B. After unloading mail and passengers it has wyed south of town and backed up to the station in the rear left. Following the CCL north, a short freight with SOO, ex DSS&A 389 arrived and wyed, then backed into town also and did some switching work north of the depot (behind the CCL). While all this was going on, the plow extra SOO 100 (ex DSS&A 100) with the Jordan's wings extended widened out the wye south of town and backed into town for beans, occupying a short yard track to the right. What we have now is the freight a-chuffa-chuffa-chuffa as only a Baldwin could do out of town headed back to Houghton. All in a day's railfaning while Clint Jones and I probably cut a couple classes to take this in.
