Splitrock Mining Company begins ore operations
The Splitrock Mining Company is a dedicated ore hauling line from the Tower Soudan area of the Vermillion Iron Range in northern Minnesota to the docks at Agate Bay, just south of the Splitrock Lighthouse on the north shore of Lake Superior.
It is set in the years 1968 to 1972. All motive power is Alco, for now. There will be one non ore train a day to service the few industries and mine supply spurs. The Vermillion Range Freight, or VRF. One interchange with he DMIR and maybe the DWP, will be the connection to the outside world.
