3.0 out of 5 stars Iron Ore Railroad basics, August 21, 2009
This review is from: The Lake Superior Iron Ore Railroads - The World's Heaviest Trains (Hardcover)
The Lake Superior Iron Ore Railroads is a good basic look at the iron ore dock structures and tonnages hauled at the time of writing. I had hoped for historical information on steam engines used by the various lines but it wasn't there. Still a good, informative read.
