As the MRHS bus pulled into the Cliffs-Erie complex, I told Joan that, despite Chuck Corwyn and Doug Buell's background information about the mining operation, we'd really come to get close to the F9s. Although "F9" is meaningless to her, she discovered I was right. One last look. Time to retire the Saturday series of photographs. Thanks for stopping by. Taken on a Missabe Railroad Historical Society convention outing; August, 2006.

Best LARGE . The Cliffs-Erie complex, near Hoyt Lakes, Minnesota. Technically, this is a photograph of Hinsdale, a named place on the railroad, but apparently never a settlement. The mine built this hill/tailings pile to raise the railroad to a useful height at the large processing plant . But then they needed a grade-level railroad entry, so they built a tunnel through the hill. That didn't work satisfactorily, so they ripped everything out and replaced the tunnel with this overpass. The remains of the tunnel are visible under the bridge (though they don't show in this photo). The Missabe Railroad Historical Society's convention took us here, August of 2006.
