Product Description
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 Michigan's 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.

A good book in general February 27, 2010
Andrei H. Alexiev
I enjoyed the book.For anyone like myself who loves both trains and Michigan's Upper Peninisula,I'd recommend it.The history buff in me wishes that there were more written information in the book,that's the only reason I didn't rate it the full 5 stars.
