[History Hounds] Copper, Cords, and Cabbage: Keweenaw’s Mineral Range Railroad with Mark Worrall, Soo Line Historical and Technical Society

In the early twentieth century, the Mineral Range Railroad ran its South Range Branch from Keweenaw Bay to the Mass City area to support the region’s copper mining industry. Come explore the history of this rail line, including its passenger operations, notable events, and Finnish influence—as well as the mining, logging, and agricultural industries along its tracks.
