The Superior South Shore is a 3D computer model railroad created using Microsoft Train Simulator. It is based in Michigan's Upper peninsula, and covers  2/3 of the peninsula in 1ft=1ft scale. It takes 5 actual hours to run a cyber train from the Soo, to the Western terminus just west of Marquette. It loosely follows the tracks of the current Wisconsin Central ( Soo Line ) and the defunct Manistique Railway, which was abandoned in 1910.

	Gently down guys		She's on the rails		Nine days later		A nose shot
