Zipping thru Baraga Monday AM and I got lucky with both yard action and a running (small) mix.
First two pics in the log yard on the west side of L'Anse. 
Looking west next to the lumber yard/hardware across the road from the logging yard. Lady who works there said the train comes thru daily and always seems to do it at her lunch time, thus blocking her ability to leave. We were there about 10:00 AM. 
As luck had it, we were heading east of Nestoria (about 4 miles) and caught a west bound. Doubled back and waited at a nice spot about a mile east of Nestoria.
Looking west towards junction. You can see Milwaukee Road box car in the distance. 
Train approaching from east about 11:00. Should show up in L'Anse in time to delay the lady's lunch again. 
Crossing two track I was on. You can see van down hill with impatient wife and kids. 
All in all, a good day. And it isn't over yet...
