Unofficial Upper Michigan and Ontario Canada
Wisconsin Central / Algoma Central Page

These are our rookie rail-fan pictures of the Wisconsin Central Railroad, taken by Jay and Nancy Ohman late February, 1999.  Too bad the weather was overcast.  We have found the Wisconsin Central - Upper Michigan, and Algoma Central - Ontario Canada stretch to be a potentially spectacular and limitless area to attempt to model.  I have only been able to capture here a small portion of this region.

The images below are organized from North to South.  Let me note that I sure wish I had more time to make these pages prettier, and better optimize the image size and clarity.

I would be interested in feedback about the maps I created.
I hope others find the layout aspect as interesting as I do
(I assure you that I have more than a couple minutes into creating the maps). 
See below for links to the maps.

Feel free to link to these images, hopefully others can classify and organize these images better than me.  If you email me when linking to these images, I will apprise you of any changes that may affect your links.

We have created a WC map of Trout Lake

We have created a WC map of Manistique
Manistique Papers, Manistique MI.
Switcher, I would love to know more about this engine, especially if an HO model is available.



For those who were not aware, this locomotive was controlled by remote control.  The engineer/brakeman (job title?) is back hanging on to the cars, setting brakes, and throwing switches.

 
We have created a WC map of the Gladstone yard and area
