Remarks & Notes 
The CNW/WC/DMIR teamed up to move quite a few train loads of Minorca ore to the Escanaba Ore Dock in the fall of 1990. The Michigan Mines had been on strike that Summer/Fall and this move was made for Inland Steel. The CNW SD50/60 fleet was used from the mine to Escanaba but for some reason they did not always work beyond Hermansville and the CNW sometimes used a couple WC SD45's along with a geep to bring the train in from Hermansville, this was one of those occasions as the train is seen arriving at the CNW Number Six Ore Yard in Escanaba.
