Michigan Iron Ore

Formed in 1892, the Lake Superior & Ishpeming hauls Magnetite and Hematite pellets from the Empire and Tilden Mines to the ore docks at Presque Isle, Michigan. With a combination of first and second generation Alco and GE motive power, the LS&I is a unique look at modern day iron ore railroading on the Michigan Ore Range.

Michigan Iron Ore, contains over 40 miles of shortline operations with an interesting mix of motive power, including the ALCO RSD-12 and the RSD-15 "Alligator". Later LS&I motive power, such as former BN U30C and C30-7's are also included. With these locomotives, you will pull 100 car ore trains from the mines to the docks. With this kind of tonnage, we can assure you that you will be challenged every step of the way down the step hill to the docks.
