1998 Speeder Excursion from Ishpeming to Baraga

On the weekend of July 18th and 19th, 1998, North Central Railcars (NCR) ran motor car excursions out of Euclid Yard in Ishpeming, which is in Michigan’s beautiful Upper Peninsula. On Saturday, we traveled to Baraga over LS&I and WC trackage. Here's a link to the full excursion report.
