Hancock – The story of railroading at Hancock's Quincy Mine will be the focus of a free walking tour on Saturday, August 9 at 1 p.m. beginning at the Quincy Mine Hoist Association gift shop, located along U.S. 41 just north of Hancock.
Railroad historians Chuck Pomazal, Clint Jones and Dennis Leopold will begin the tour with a brief overview of the Quincy and Torch Lake Railroad, the private line operated by the Quincy Mining Company from 1888 to 1945.
The tour will include the railroad's engine house, the former railway grade on the brow of Quincy Hill, the sites of switching yards, scale pit and water tower, then loop back to the main Quincy property for an update on rehabilitation work involving historic Quincy locomotives.
Some of the tour will include walking over rough terrain. For information, call the Quincy Mine Hoist Association at 482-3101.
