Cliffs Erie Railroad

The railroad closed in early 2001 when the LTV company ended the operations of the harbor.

In 2004 Cliffs Erie hired a contractor to claim leftover chips and pellets from the mine due to the high iron prices.

For the final freight runs, these locomotives, together with EMD F9 number 4211 that had been donated to Lake Superior Railroad Museum in 2002, were used to form up a A-B-B-B-A consist, rarely seen since the end of the B-unit era.

The three B units, numbers 4223, 4224, and 4225, were scrapped, while 4210 has been stored intact at Hoyt Lakes.

Two former Erie Mining Company ALCO RS-11 locomotives #7201 and #7202, ex-301[2] and #302[3] respectively, are located near Newport, NJ among other retired rolling stock on a private railroad siding.
