Bill,

If I am not mistaken, that is a Calumet & Hecla locomotive named "Torch Lake" at the Henry Ford Museum. Q&TL ceased operating in 1945 with four locomotives. Today, two are displayed at the Quincy Hoist exhibit in Hancock, one is at Pine Creek RR, and the other is at the Huckleberry RR.

Larry, I agree that that is a great website. There is a lot of interesting stuff hiding in the woods up in the Michigan copper country. Railroad and mining history goes back a long ways up there.
