Railroad cars sit on track in Ontonagon in late September. After Smurfit Stone Container closed its paper mill in Ontonagon, the Escanaba and Lake Superior Railroad abandoned its tracks between Ontonagon and Sidnaw. Ontonagon residents tried in vain to have the track preserved for future use by a new mill owner. (Jan Tucker/Daily Globe)
Smurfit closure dominates Ontonagon year
ONTONAGON -- Nearly every major story in Ontonagon County in 2010 was an offshoot of the Dec. 31, 2009, announcement of the closing of Smurfit Stone Container.
More than 200 union and non-union employees, loggers and other related workers were without jobs as of Jan. 1.
Partly as a result of the mill closing, the Escanaba and Lake Superior Railroad sought and received permission to abandon its tracks between Ontonagon and Sidnaw."
