Centuries of the North Woods, Part 2: Lake Shore Division 

One of my favorites in my home video library. After several moves they've been misplaced. The good fortune that I found your videos here. Those were some amazing locomotives as were the trains and people that operated them. The narration is very good too. I just wasn't able to get there to see them in operation. Your videos were the next best thing. Thank you.

Dad called this rock crushers.....he loved these engines....he used to go up there all the time to work....my dad suffered a series of strokes in 1988 and was told he would never work again ...spring of 89 he was back to work! Priceless memories of this era!

I like those Lattice Truss type of bridge design, those crossing the Escanaba River, just after the 6:00 mark. What is unique here is that the earlier structures, whatever the truss design they were, their spans were twice as long, noting the alternating types of piers in the river supporting the tracks. The stone piers were the primary supporting piers. The "two post" cement piers were added later so to shorten the span lengths, thus, carry more weight.

Really nice video, I was fortunate once to see these beasts in action.

Great video well done!

Just took a Harley trip across the UP. Beautiful territory up there.

Yes, very good video.

Man I detailed and painted those exact LS&I locomotives in HO nearly 30 years ago...
