[QUOTE]Originally posted by Henry Kisor: [QB] Thank you, Vicki, but there are no passenger trains in my novels -- they are set in the wilderness of Upper Michigan. There *are* two railroads in the area, the Escanaba & Lake Superior and the White Pine sub of the CN (ex Wisconsin Central). Both are in deep trouble. The E&LS (ex MILW) wants to tear up its tracks from Sidnaw to Ontonagon because its only customer in Ontonagon, the Smurfit-Stone paper mill, has closed permanently. When the White Pine Copper Refinery closes in July, it is expected that CN will close the subdivision from Marengo Junction, Wis., to White Pine, Mich. Probably won't be writing them into the novel-in-progress, except to mention them as victims of Hard Times in the U.P. Last week I photographed the cute little EMD SW1 (ex PRR, ex PC, ex Amtrak) that works the White Pine yard. It had only six boxcars of refined copper to ship south: ( http://henrykisor.blogspot.com/2010/05/it-gets-worse.html ) [/QB][/QUOTE]
