Viewing Album:  New Year's Weekend in Escanaba, Michigan
 
By:Matthew Zisi
Dates:12/31/2022 - 1/1/2023
Album Info:Howdy, folks! This year for New Year's, I went north instead of south. All the way up to Escanaba, Michigan...which, if you really know your railroads, you will recognize as the headquarters of the Escanaba & Lake Superior Railroad. Yep, that's the reason I went. Found their deadline, and a steam engine, and some stations while I was up there. Here are the pictures-enjoy!
