Above, the Wisconsin &
Michigan railroad depot at Norway, Michigan, in 1909. This is
a typical W&M depot according to Mark Worrall. The W&M depot
which is still standing in Iron Mountain (in 2005) is of the same
design. The cold weather seems to have chased all curious
viewers from the platform that typify most depot postcards.
Note the interlocking tower in the distance on the right, which
is the crossing of the C&NW branch which ran up to the Norway
and Cyclops mines. Both mines were closed at the time of this
photograph. Aragon Mine Shaft 5 is at the rear of the photo on the left.
As of 2005, there is still a pump in the mine shaft and it regulates
the level of nearby Strawberry Lake. (The other Aragon Mines
are at the bottom of the lake). [Mark Worrall

Northwestern depot at Norway, which is now a private residence which
has been moved away from the right-of-way. [Greg Bunce photo]. |
