  • Bessemer had a two-stall engine house as well as a sixty-foot turntable.  [SOO-Sp/1996]

An overhead, panoramic view of Bessemer in 1886.  The railroad is shown through the middle of town.  The smoke in the distance is from area iron mines.  In 1886, this was part of Ontonagon County but was transferred to the new Gogebic County shortly thereafter.
