"Come Sail Away" - by STYX
We wander around in the desert and sometimes see a little tree growing way up on top of a dry rock and wonder what it's surviving on. This takes that to a whole new level.

Located southwest of Silver Bay, Minnesota, USA on the North Shore of Lake Superior. The structure was designed by lighthouse engineer Ralph Russell Tinkham and was completed in 1910 by the United States Lighthouse Service at a cost of $75,000, including the buildings and the land. It is considered one of the most picturesque lighthouses in the United States.

After a storm on Nov. 28, 1905 had damaged 29 ships, Congress authorized $70,000 to build a lighthouse and fog signal at Split Rock. The light station was completed in 1910.
The light was taken out of service in 1969 when modern navigation methods made it obsolete, but the beacon is lit once a year on November 10th to commemorate the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
I have made the beacon lighting ceremony the last two years, and I plan on going every year for as long as I can still make it. Yes, it's cold on the North Shore in November, but if you have a love of history, beauty, and a need for an unexplainable sense of something unexplainable, the trip is well worth it!

April 14, 1994: Conductor CC Hundley is in the process of lining the split-rail derail so his light pusher set can back out of the stub-ended siding at Glenita, Virginia. Traffic was heavy on the NS Appalachia District in those days, and this pusher set has briefly taken refuge in the old steam era siding here to clear up for an eastbound. Doing so, however, meant lining both the switch and derail by hand -- three times.
