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 Collection with Information from Greg Bunce].  Below, the former Chicago & Northwestern depot at Norway, which is now a private residence which has been moved away from the right-of-way.  [Greg Bunce photo].

Below, Chicago & Northwestern 4293 and 4180 power a way freight over the overpass through Norway.  December 27, 1987 [Neil Plagens]
