Good book,

This review is from: Michigan-Ontario Iron Ore Railroads (Paperback)
This book is an informative, easy to read book that also offers numerous classic pictures of several railroads as they move iron ore through the remote region of Upper Peninsula Michigan. Short lines and regionals are the back bone of the rail industry and this book does a good job of documenting those lines - some of which are fallen flags. If you like railroad history, classic train equipment and photos of trains and towns in a bygone era, then you'll enjoy this book. While I prefer color photos, the all black and white shots provide a mood that fits the iron ore movements of these lines.
