Michigan-Ontario Iron Ore Railroads covers the wide variety of ore-hauling railroads in northern Wisconsin, Upper Michigan, and Ontario, primarily since the 1970's with some backtracking into the 1950's and 1960's for ore operations that disappeared during the mid-century. These railroad lines handled ore from the Gogebic, Menominee, and Marquette Ranges through the ports of Ashland and Marquette on Lake Superior; and Escanaba on Lake Michigan. Still other iron ore mining operations in Ontario sent ore through Little Current and Depot Harbor on Lake Huron, and Michipoten on Lake Superior. The companion volume to this book, Minnesota-Ontario Iron Ore Railroads, describes the ore operations in northeastern Minnesota and northwestern Ontario. Hopefully readers will find both books useful not only for historical purposes and providing an understanding of ore-handling logistics, but as an aid to modeling these diverse and colorful railroad systems.
