It is the story of the Iron Range and Huron Bay Railroad that spent over $1,200,000 during the period of 1889 to 1995, to build a 36 mile railroad that never ran a train. It includes several detailed maps of the "grade" as it exists today from Champion, Michigan, all the way to Huron Bay on Lake Superior, near Skanee, and east of L'Anse. The author, from Negaunee, has walked most of the grade apart from the present road, and shares his experiences. The railroad was sold, and almost totally dismantled in 1901. The railroad had purchased two 120 ton Steam Locomotives, 2-4-0's, built a long 60' rock cut through the 1900' Huron Bay Summit, plus many other cuts as well, and built a large 112 pocket ore boat loading dock, and laid the track..
