Excellent video. Combing historic photos and Greg connecting the dots from the past to the present. Amazing how such busy areas become abandoned and nature taking over the right of way. Good job!! 👍🇺🇲
I learned a lot, plus seen some new roads to go traveling on.. That last ride from Champion and out onto M95 answered a question I had for a while... lol
Great video! Greg is a wealth of info. He should consider writing a book so his information and memories of the area aren't lost to time. Keep up the good work and thank you once again for taking the time to document and share this video. Much appreciated.
As someone who spends a lot of time out at Sawyer lake, was really cool to now know more of the history behind the rail lines there. Thanks for making this!
I’m still amazed looking at old rail maps just how many little spurs and sidings were scattered all over the place…and you’re finding them. Another great video!
I just drove through there and was shocked to see how many old hoppers and box cars were just sitting out there. I didn't think those rails had been used in years. Great history! Thank you!
Thanks for the history of the area. I snowmobile on those trails in the winter so I know the area well and often think what it must’ve been like when those rails were laid.
Interesting local history. Back in the day there was very little thought given to conservation or preservation. The area was denuded of its minerals and the big trees were clear cut. What’s left is left.
Are the iron ore deposits exhausted at this point in those areas or just not economical to extract at the current time or being held in some kind of strategic reserve status?

Love the history up there. Thank you.
Morning coffee and a TH-cam railroad history adventure. It doesn't get much better than this.

What a cool video. So many former rail lines. I travelled the UP a lot from 1988 - 2000 and ran across so many.
Excellent job, Brian! And many thanks to Greg as well.

Awesome stuff.
I used to fish in the Michigamme reservoir in the 90's. Boy time flies.
Just love these history videos. I am some what shocked that all that valuable steel rail and rail cars are left behind.
I'm 67 and remember as a kid wooden box cars.
Oof.. to see the abandoned lines is disappointing. But the history lesson was great! Thanks for putting this together!

Very much enjoyed the railroad business history lesson.
Nice job! Any documentary on logging rr mentioned..?
Would have loved to be in the car for this journey Brian.

I love it,
