The Lake Superior & Ishpeming Railroad with exciting LS&I iron ore pellet trains moving across the world famous Marquette iron range. See LS&I ore trains traveling between Eagle Mills and West Yard and then onto the Marquette ore dock. Fall colors are featured on this rustic rail line which includes steep grades, rock cuts, rivers, lakes, and huge trestles. LS&I ore trains are featured with an interesting combination of both trackside runbys and cab rides. In Marquette you also see the massive LS&I ore dock in operation with up close ore car dumping and chute loading of iron ore pellets into Lake Superior ore boats. The LS&I powers their trains with an exciting fleet of GE locomotives including models U30C's and C30-7's. Plus a brief look back to the late 1980's when LS&I ore trains were still powered by elderly GE's and Alcos.
