TRRS 515: Railfanning Michigan's Upper Peninsula | 08 Oct 2017

Marquette Iron Range -- 08 October, 2017 By the time October rolls around each year, the season change is in full swing, and it isn’t at all unheard of for snow to fly early enough to make even the most seasoned Yooper show a bit of grief! However on October 8th, 2017, the Iron Range was awash in sun and the temperatures still nowhere near freezing, with the leaves in the midst of their color change. This is a fall day of action in Marquette’s Iron Range, presented by the Thornapple River Rail Series Want to follow along on a map?
