Here are some photos from the last days of the Soo Line Lake States Division. A few of them are some from the last days of the Milwaukee Road. Most of these photos were taken in the mid 1980's in the Calumet County, Wisconsin area. Special thanks goes to Richard Zahringer for contributing these photos.
