Broadcasting his Polka radio show from 2-4pm on 26 stations across the U.S., Brian  has more Polka history in his head than seems possible and the most complete knowledge of the phone systems of the Keweenaw, that again, more than any one person should hold in one's head and still has room for his many stories of growing up in the South Range/Alantic area, owning a bar in South Range and now living in Forida.

Thank you for all your help over the years Brian and the interesting conversation, always interesting.

Here are some of Brian's photos from 1972, near the end of the Copper Range.

At Twin Lakes in the summer of 1972 we find Copper Range 101 pulling a load of wood past the Penegor Sawmill.

August 1972 at Twin Lakes.  This is engine 101 parked on the mainline. You can tell train isn't moving because headlight is off.

Same train, different angle

CRRR 100 & 101 pulling empty ore cars back to Painesdale. I took this one at 4th Street in South Range - looking north as train is heading south.
