Will they build the Soo railroad north toward Ashland
The Soo Company officials are reportedly acquiring large tracts of land in the northern county as rumors spread of a possible route. Some say the line would run from Superior to Port Wing then south to Ashland, while others connect it around the shore via Port Wing Bayfield and Washburn. Officials’ land purchases and the Cranberry tract sale hint at broader plans, though routes remain uncertain. Local residents note timber and freight considerations at Bayfield and Washburn and question the practicality of Port Wing as a terminus. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all readers.
