Railroads - Soo Line |
Transportation, Railroads, Persons, Seasons, Winter |
Soo Line Caboose 580 was the last one to move into the Calumet area while a station agent was serving it. Here a unit of Soo employees are on hand to properly commemorate the occasion. In the above group are Joseph Sterbenz, Dave Manninen, the agent; Ivor Lytikzinen, Francis Beaudry and Joseph Kaufman. The train still will move to Calumet when there is freight for it but this does not mean that it is making a profit while performing such activities. Service will be from the Houghton station. [The employees stand in a snow storm holding a sign reading " Last tricks on the Lake Linden, Keweenaw, Calumet closing Copper Country stations.

The Soo-Milwaukee station at Champion is this structure which is soon to be decommissioned. Already, it is indicated that the agency will be abolished March 31. Although outside the Copper Country, Keweenaw Peninsula people will know the location because it once was a junction point for all movement from the copper district to Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Ignace, Marquette and Detroit.
