Rebuilt Legacy by William Krieg

For many communities across the Midwest, the center of town was based on the local train station. People and cargo flowed through this station at Brimley, Michigan off the Duluth, South Shore, and Atlantic railway from 1872 until 1938 when a lack of demand marked the end of passenger service to this little town along Lake Superior. The trains themselves kept rolling through for a time, but they too ended in 1963 with the rails being removed and the station long demolished. All that aside, the railroad wasn’t quite done with this little town as the local train station was later rebuilt with a replica being constructed on the same footprint while an old Algoma Central passenger car and wooden caboose mark out the old trackage next door. Today this area is all operated as the Wheels of History Train Museum, and while it was sadly closed on my drive through I look forward to the day I can give this museum a proper viewing.
