U30Cs, pellets between the rails, rock cuts, 82 year old jennies, searchlights, and a door propped open with a broom. Does it get any more LS&I than that? The 7 Tilden crew makes their second trip to the mine with the U30C pair as they hang a right at Palmerline Junction and head for a load of Tilden ore. This location was originally where the DSS&A’s “Palmerline” to the Volunteer Mine in nearby Palmer parted ways with the C&NW main to Escanaba to the right, hence the junction’s name. Both lines were originally further west, but were joined and realigned to their current location in the early 50s to access the then-new Tracy Mine just to the north.
