Copper Country Rail

From The Railroads' Beginnings In The Early 1870s To The Complex Rail Network Of The 1900s, The Advance And Decline Of The Copper Industry In Michigans Upper Peninsula Was Mirrored By The Railroads That Served It. With The Abandonment In 1976 Of The Houghton Tracks Of The Soo Line (formerly The Mineral Range, Duluth South Shore And Atlantic), Copper Country Was Once Again Without The Railroad Service That Built It. This Book Seeks To Tell This Rich Story Of Copper Country Railroads Through A Collection Of Pictures From Various Archival Sources, Including The Authors' Personal Collections, The Houghton County Historical Society, Keweenaw County Historical Society, The Rudolf Maki Collection, The Chuck Pomazal Collection, The Michigan Technological University Van Pelt Library Archives, And The National Park Service Archives.
