Book excerpt: 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 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..

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This account of a doomed enterprise is “an important contribution to both rail and road history, as well as to business history”—photos and maps included (The Lexington Quarterly). Stretching over two hundred miles through Pennsylvania’s most challenging mountain terrain, the South Pennsylvania Railroad would form the heart of a new trunk line, from the East Coast to Pittsburgh and the Midwest. Conceived in 1881 by William H. Vanderbilt, Andrew Carnegie, and a group of Pittsburgh and Philadelphia industrialists, it was intended to break the rival Pennsylvania Railroad’s near-monopoly in the region. But the line was within a year of opening when J.P. Morgan brokered a peace treaty that aborted the project and helped bolster his position in the world of finance. The railroad right of way and its tunnels would sit idle for sixty years—before coming to life in the late 1930s as the original section of the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Based on original letters, documents, diaries, and newspaper reports, The Railroad That Never Was uncovers the truth behind this mysterious railway, one of the most infamous construction projects of the late nineteenth century.
