Holiday special
The backlog has been so large for so long that I haven't put up anything from the archives for a long time. I figured Thanksgiving is as good a time as any for a lookback. I dipped into the folder of scans done for my book.
There are a number of scans that I thought were a shoe-in but didn't make the final cut once the hard choices had to be made.
The WC was down to a little over a week of independence left in its existence. Train OACTI is making the run west from Sault Ste. Marie to Gladstone over the Soo Line mainline. Most of the train is empty steel hoppers used to shuttle iron ore pellets between the Tilden Mine and Algoma Steel in the Canadian Soo.
The old feed mill at Engadine, MI makes a fine prop. Thanks to a Google visit I confirmed that the mill is still there 24 years later, unfortunately the evergreens seen on this side of the mill are now huge and pretty much completely obscure it from view.
