After more than a hundred years, a derailed train that plunged into Lake Superior has been found


Its track clung to a steep, winding hillside 20 metres above the northern edge of Lake Superior. When the 694 collided with the debris, it took the two with it as it derailed and plummeted into Lake Superior. In the summer of 2014, Stefurak, Turpin and a team of divers made for Marathon, Ontario, on the shore of Lake Superior about 300 km east of Thunder Bay. They knew the 694 had derailed nearby; they just needed to find where it had ended up. He does hope, though, that finding it might generate some excitement for the replica of the 694 that Schreiber wants to build in his hometown.
