(Not the Western) Where is it #6-no photos, just clues

The city by the bay has a pretty quiet rail scene now. A former transcon is now a nearby biking path. The name of a prominate fallen flag adorns the big, rusting trestle leading to a dock that looks like it hasn’t seen a train in ages. That fallen flag gave way to another fallen flag owner, who was gobbled up by a Class 1 in recent memory. Where am I?

Duluth, MN or Superior, WI.

no, and no

Hmmm… is this location somewhere in the midwest?

Yes (no rocky mountains[;)])

Is this “city by the bay” located in Ohio?

no

I am now genuinely perplexed. Somewhere in Indiana along Lake Michigan?

is it in wisconsin

no

yes

Ashland, WI? Chequamegon Bay, NP, Soo Line, WC, CN?

Yes,yes,yes,yes,yes and yes!! How about that! I thought that maybe a good clue would be that only the locals can pronounce the name of the bay. Do you live in the area?

Arrrrrrgggghhh!!! And I was initially so close![banghead]

The mention of it being a transcon threw me off… that was a transcon through there?

Reference was to Northern Pacific being a transcon. Brian-why don’t you do a where is it? I think you’d be good at it.

I’ve tried it a few months back, but just didn’t have the time to invest in it (I tried using other’s pictures, don’t have enough of my own). I guess I’m having more fun trying to solve them.

EDIT: Time for bed here. I’ll be watching tomorrow night.

Not from the area, but took a weekend trip up there around 10 years ago. Have railmap, will travel. [:)]
