Hi Bill & "breesingup" / Bill have a safe trip, and hope you get to drive over the Mackinac Bridge.
Here is the rest of the story. My son is a graduate of Michigan Technological University, Houghton, Michigan. He is now a powertrain engineer for a major automotive manufacture. He lived in the U.P. for, 4 years and took a lot of photos of the ore docks.
The ore docks are still on my bucket list and the bucket list at the DMRRC, yes this would be a major project.
My son married a “Yooper” and this makes my two grandchildren / 50% “Yoopers”. They are both over right now. We just got back from the beach, because the rain is moving in. Got the sand off the two boys, gave them lunch and we are in the train room. One is nabbing and the other is running a steam locomotive. Ages two & one.
This started out as a Mining & RR College, in the U.P.
