Yep! Right in Calumet. The Calumet and Hecla's 49in gauge branch to the Red Jacket Shaft east of town. The road below was originally built as 3ft gauge as well. The world's other Narrow Gauge country. Almost every railroad in the area was served by a railroad or owned their own and there at one point was at least 20 narrow gauge lines running in the area yet only a handful of books have ever been written.
