On Thursday August 18th, the Escanaba and Lake Superior Railroad ran the "Shipper's Special" from the railroad's namesake city of Escanaba to Mass City, MI. The trip ran via the Canadian National from
...
Escanaba to Pembine, where the locomotives ran around the consist and proceeded north on E&LS trackage. I was hoping to catch the train a few more times north of Pembine, but unfortunately time wouldn't allow for that, maybe next year.
The consist was as follows:
ELS 400 - GP38
ELS 300 - RS12
SOO 758 - Observation
SOO 1237
ELS 7000 - Flatcar, modified to Open Air "Party Car"
CNW 6700
ELS 1100
ELS 1101
ELS 1348
NP 254 - Baggage, used as generator car
ELS ??? - Observation, "Parlor Car"
They will likely be headed back to Escanaba tomorrow morning, so if you are in the area, get your pictures!
