The daily CN Gladstone to Partridge siding (Near Marquette, Mi) turn slowly snakes around the edge of Lake Michigan within the Gladstone yard limits. This train is responsible for all traffic moving in and out of the Marquette, Ishpeming, and connecting western branches, as it is the only active route to the area. Other railroads serviced are the Lake Superior And Ishpeming; and the Mineral Range Railroad; as well as CN's L'Anse branch.

On my first two day visit to the KJRY I was greeted by this lashup that slowly worked its way to Keokuk, Iowa and then back towards Mapleton, Illinois. The 10MPH speed limit made for an easy chase. Although the Illinois landscape isn't as scenic, there are plenty of structures, bridges, and curves to give different angles to work with. More photos coming soon.
