Copper Range Railroad No. 200

Copper Range Railroad No. 200 served for many years as the plant switcher at the White Pine Mine, the last bastion of the Copper Range mining empire. It was retired about 1995-6. The leased SW-1.200 was last reported and seen on a siding at Mellen, Wis., in a simplified maroon and gray paint scheme, took many photos! This was accompanied by an ex-LS&IRR RS-2/3 used on the short-lived Wisconsin and Michigan RR, that ran on the former SOO LINE branch from Mellen to Ironwood/Bessemer, Mich.
