Iron Mountain

Further on up the road, the 501 keeps trucking north towards Channing with a few scrap gons from Iron Mountain and a modest cut of pulpwood. These exact rails once carried the Milwaukee Road's lesser-known "Copper Country Limited", a secondary passenger service between Chicago and the northern reaches of Michigan's upper peninsula at Hancock that amazingly held on until the late 1960's.
