History over the back fence
The storage tracks at Escanaba & Lake Superior's diesel shops in Wells, MI contain a fascinating collection of vintage locomotives from Baldwin and EMD.
E&LS 202 is a Baldwin model DS-4-4-1000. Built in 1948, it was originally owned by Calumet & Hecla mining company and worked on their railroad serving the copper mines in the Calumet, MI area until operations there ceased in 1968. It continued to serve the E&LS for many years afterward until being retired recently, still wearing the original C&H orange paint scheme.
