Considering this is tie replacement season that's a short train. All that moved Stone just shows the power of water and I'm sure the east coast is seeing plenty with the remnants of the Debbie storm. The old rail but especially the brickwork is just fascinating knowing how few years that walk was in service. Probably the least shoveled walk in L'Anse doresn't have to worry about winter anymore!
@@nancyhaun no I've never seen that walk until your video now. It makes one wonder who was the last person to see it that even had any interest in it. Those newspaper clippings that one person referred to Ashley point out how big the Kilns were with that kind of volume and that they had decent enough clay to even make bricks. Here in Milwaukee I do have a set of WPA concrete steps that are very hidden that haven't had pedestrian traffic in at least 30 years
I found another article that may have a connection. The Brick Company was building a culvert, furnishing and laying ties from the Brick Yard to the DSS&A railroad. This was dated March 9,1901 Page 8 of the L'Anse Sentinel.
The short version is Robert Learned Hebard (1613-1684) immigrated from Salisbury England to the new world between 1635 and 1639. His home located in Salem Massachusetts is the oldest known standing home in the United States. His family participated in both the Revolutionary and Civil wars. So seven generations later Charles Hebard 1831-1902 eventually founded Pequaming. So actually the Hebard family member that built Pequaming was not directly from England but still a descendent. His story is pretty interesting and is found in the book "The History of Pequaming" . It can be purchased for $20 and tells the story of Pequaming from it's beginning with the Hebards to it's end with Henry Ford.
The portion of this video containing the L'Anse Local coming into the L'Anse Rail Yard and moving cars to and from the Koppers and CertainTeed plants was good to see after a week or so of not weeing the L'Anse Local. The most fascinating part of the video was your exploration and findings along the Falls River. That brick pavement and the rails that you found have me thinking that I hope you do some follow-up research on these findings and give us some further information on these discoveries. I am looking forwards to your video on your findings by the Silver River. (Posted 9 August 2024 at !@13 CDT.)
Eh! Beauty. Short or Tall, got to move'm All. Nance, If l got a job on the railroad could I be the guy who rings the Bell? The Horn would be too much responsibility for me.
I found an article dated June 22,1901 that said the L'Anse yard was producing 50,000 bricks a day with 40 employees
I like the Falls River bridge scene. Nice video 👍🏻
Hello Nancy. Great video nice old walkway very interesting great to get more info or photos from way back 👍🏻😎 Robin out
Hello Robin!
Considering this is tie replacement season that's a short train. All that moved Stone just shows the power of water and I'm sure the east coast is seeing plenty with the remnants of the Debbie storm. The old rail but especially the brickwork is just fascinating knowing how few years that walk was in service. Probably the least shoveled walk in L'Anse doresn't have to worry about winter anymore!
Are you familiar with that walkway Paul?

Awesome video enjoying watching beautiful day too Awesome Nancy's Adventures 🚂🚂👍😃😎♥️
Thanks Don!
Hard to believe how nature can alter areas over years
Totally hide areas!
Excellent L'anse action with the Falls River. Enjoyed it much, thanks Nancy!
Can't wait to see what else the rain unearths!
Great video as usual. Good to see more hidden history.
Tons of earth covering up our local history!
Nice video of the old railway. Are there any identifying features on the old rails, year made and where?
Yes year made and where!
Good find and some good videos. It was good meeting you the other day at the Bishop Baraga shrine.
Same here Dennis! THahk you for the memories! It must have taken you hours to put them together! So much good info!
Always nice to see a train. I notice trucks with ground up ties coming in from Superior Wi.

Wow thats a huge find Dennis! I'll look into it!!
More about the British connection please. As a Brit, I am fascinated.

I am definitely going back to the Falls River finds and I hope to post the Silver River finds tomorrow.
