Explorers IV Rail Trip - 1990 - North Woods Explorer
Come along on the 1990's High Iron "North Woods Explorer" trip that traversed the WC, NBNR, LSI, ACR, and ELS railroads with six private passenger cars. How they talked the LS&I into taking the occupied train on top of their active ore dock at Presque Isle (Marquette) I'll never know - but they did. Also memorable was the WC with the train pacing a LS&I ore train. Some of the track traversed is no longer in service today.
I must stress this footage was provided to me by Dick Forrest of (then) Island Heights, NJ. I have had it for the past 32 years and finally decided to post it. I have not had contact with Dick regarding doing this. I hope it is acceptable. He gets full credit for this footage - I merely added some captions.

Amazing trip. Especially the scenes around Marquette. All that trackage downtown is long gone. And to actually be on top of the LSI ore dock... wow! Thanks so much for posting this.
Great video.Brought back a lot memories of the area.
Such gold. So much has changed in 33 years (WC, NBNR gone), yet some things have stayed the same. "Sierra Hotel" and "Caritas" still roam the rails of the Midwest on charters/fan trips, and J. Lauber's Ice Cream Parlor still operates in East Troy.
I have a few photos of it coming thru White Lake and Lily on the Shawano subdivision. Track is now long gone
