{"product_id":"copper-country-rail-images-of-rail-michigan","title":"Copper Country Rail (Images of Rail: Michigan)","description":"The rise and decline of the copper industry in Michigan's Upper Peninsula mirrored that of the railroads that served the area.\nFrom the railroads' beginnings in the early 1870s to the complex rail network of the 1900s, Copper Country exploded with immigrants eager to mine the eponymous metal and their families, brought in by the car-full on train after train. By 1976, the abandonment of the Houghton tracks of the Soo Line (formerly the Mineral Range, Duluth South Shore and Atlantic) meant that Copper Country was once again without the railroad service that built it. This book seeks to tell the story of Copper Country railroads through a collection of pictures from various archival sources, including the authors' personal collections, the National Park Service archives, and many more.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0738550582\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0738550582.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Anderson, George E.|Taylor, Richard E.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
