Where's the bridge @ the last scene?

[fmnut]

@DelayInBlock That's Morgan Trestle. located a few hundred yards north of the road crossing coming out of Eagle Mills yard going toward the dock.

i ran across a tribute vid to the Edmond Fitzgerald,and i just wondered if the ls&i was the railroad that loaded her?

[fmnut]

@arkie74 No, the Fitz loaded at Superior, Wisconsin at the Burlington Northern ore docks.

Is the ls&i still run? and where could I see them at a road view?

[fmnut]

@jotoew Yes, they still operate, but not with the locos seen in this video. They operate in the area between Marquette, Eagle Mills and Palmer, Michigan. You can follow their route on Google Maps, the ore dock is located about a mile north of downtown Marquette. Just follow the line southwestward from that point to the mines.

Well if you can't keep your ALCos, then a chugging GE is the next best thing and sometimes even better I think.
