 Above, the car repair shop for the Lake Superior Lumber Company in Ontonagon, with the mill in the background.  This would have been approximately on the small strip of land between the downtown, the mill race, and the Ontonagon River.  No trace of it can be seen today (in 2005).  This interesting image contains wheel sets, bad-ordered flat car of logs, as well as early sawdust/wood chip cars in the background.  Strangely, only one bay of the repair shed has tracks.  According to Mark Worrall, no less than four engine houses existed in Ontonagon in this era.  [Mark Worrall Collection]
