Shiny new ore cars at last light coming through Biwabik MN and one of the shiny new cars at Ramshaw. Not much snow there.

Found this Canadian Pacific Hotels bottle opener in a flea market today. $4. Had to buy it.

I have a Pennsylvania Railroad coal shovel and a couple old time rail lanterns. Love Railroad memorabilia.
I think when I hit the “old codger” stage of life, I am going to build a replica of the rail system that once existed in my town.

New rail being delivered between the Soo Yard and the International Bridge in Sault ste Marie, MI. 3-18-24 Note the size of this rail. This is what main lines are built with and the rail sections are 1/4 a mile long.

I've always been amazed at how "wobbly" the new rail sections are - conforming to the uneven ground, when just laying on the ground like than.

In northeast Indiana along US30 near Columbia City, there is a Steel Dynamics steel mill that I think deals mostly with scrap steel. Next door is a rail factory. It's the yellow line in the left of the screenshot attached. It's 0.33 miles long. There are many of those cars lined up next to it. (click to enlarge).
