Note: The Escanaba, Iron Mountain and Western Railroad originally built this line and was owned by mining interests in Iron Mountain and Norway. The purpose was to ship ore to their own dock in Escanaba and eliminate shipping over the C&NW. Shortly after completion, the line was sold to the C&NW. The C&NW sent their loaded ore trains via this route because of shorter distances and better grades. The empties came back via Powers to Iron Mountain. [GB]
