Seller ID: TL182
Minnesota-Ontario Iron Ore Railroads covers the wide variety of ore-hauling railroads in northeastern Minnesota and northwestern Ontario. These railroads fed iron ore through six sets of dock facilities through Duluth-Superior to Thunder Bay, Ontario. The largest operations included the Duluth, Missabe & Iron Range Railway and the Great Northern Railway. The original Reserve Mining Company ranked third in terms of tonnage handled from their mine to the Silver Bay plant. This book looks at train operations for moving the Minnesota-Ontario ore from the mines to the docks, and also reviews the all-rail ore operations during the last two decades of the 20th century. Each specific railroad chapter includes descriptions of the train, yard and dock operations as well as the ore equipment owned by each company. Motive power rosters are included for the regional railroad and mining companies dedicated to ore haulage. The companion volume to this book, Michigan-Ontario Ore Railroads, describes the train operations from Ashland, Wisconsin, through to the ports on Lake Huron and Georgian Bay. Retail $25.95.
