Baw Beese Lake has an interesting history. There were several ice companies in the area.  Ice was shipped out by train at the rate of 100 cars per day at the peak. Why were trains used to move the ice?

A).  The railroad tracks were in place and the box cars could hold a large load.   N 41 54.427 W 84 36.599

OR

B) The local horses refused to haul that much ice.  N 11 87.358. W 12 66.886
