The Northshore
After cleaning up the Missabe the previous day, we decided to focus our sights on the more obscure ore mining operation just to the north: the Northshore Mining line from Babbitt to Silver Bay. We lucked into the 0600 crew bringing ore loads east to the harbor with a classic EMD leader. Even better, the sun came out briefly in the morning - long enough to bathe the sweeping curve at Beaver Bay in full sun.
