LSI 3004 brings iron ore loads thru Empire Junction as WC 6619 waits to head to the mine with empties. My wife and I were on our honeymoon in May of 1997 when I took this shot.
The LS&I 7-weigher job passes the Empire Mine pellet conveyors on its way to Tilden Mine.
The 3 Tilden brings in a load of ore from the mines and pulls around the wye and approaches M-35.
Lake Superior & Ishpeming 3004 and 3009 deliver a train of empty cars to the Empire Mine. There's just something surreal about the ore processing facilities here that always makes me feel uneasy.
The Lake Superior and Ishpeming 7:00 Tilden Job passes the signals at Empire Junction on its way to Eagle Mills with ore loads from the Tilden Mine.
