Friday found the two big Soo Line locomotives in this position. One of the engines has been righted to parallel the track. This locomotive, following the derailing, was left crosswise on the rails. Reported is that ice and heavy debris trucks dropping some of their contents were causes of the accident but railroad officials would not confirm the rumor. The location here is at a point where the Tolfree Road Junctions with M-64. The two diesels went off the route Wednesday while bound for the White Pine mine site. [Photo of the train off the track.

Fires - Ontonagon Paper Mill |
Accidents, Fires, Transportation, Railroads, Fire Department, Officials and Employees, Fire Fighters |
Ontonagon's paper mill fire is said to be under control but this picture reveals that things are not as rosy as they seem. This car load of waste paper is on fire and the fire units are endeavoring to quell it. About five of the Milwauke Road cars where similarly affected but there were no damaged cars of finished paper product. Not only will the mill suffer from the fire but the railroad also will sustain losses both in business and in damages.
