Above, Lake Superior & Ishpeming Railway's 1604, an RS-3, which was stationed for years at the Kimberly-Clark paper plant in Munising.  After the LS&I abandoned its main line from Munising Jct. (at the DSS&A) to Marquette, this engine was embargoed at Munising.  It switched the plant, and took cars to Munising Jct. (about 8 miles) to be interchanged with the South Shore.  Photo taken in 1989.  [Dave Fulkerth].  Below, LS&I 1604 stands by at the Kimberly Clark plant in Munising in 1979.  [Greg Bunce]
