C&NW
SOO, aka MStP&SSM
MILW aka CMStP&P
All ran in the Upper Peninsula at one time. I think it is really cool how the MILW stretched from the coal fields fo southern Indiana all the way to the west coast - and also reached Ontonagon, MI! Sad to see the rails being pulled there this past week.

Please do not poke at the ramp agent because he has the power to make your vacation
memorable or miserable. It all depends on what flight you bags go on.

British Columbia Railway and Northern Alberta Railway.... Reason being, my grandfather worked for the NAR in Dawson Creek, it also used to interchange with the Pacific Great Eastern, later British Columbia Railway. The NAR also went through the town I grew up in, 1991 CN came and pulled up all the rails. Today there is little showing a railway even passed through.

DT&I for the carriers I did see, and wishing I would have been old enough to get the Erie Lackawana in full glory.
