The Grand Ledge, Michigan, railroad trestle from the Ledges Trail along the Grand River. Have a good year, everyone. Blessings.

The best photo I took on our "accidental" visit to Port Huron's Desmond Landing. This tank was left behind when the Ferry Yard was abandoned. I presume it contained fuel for the switcher, but that could (of course) be all wrong....

The CSX (originally Pere Marquette) Michigan mainline at Mulliken, Michigan.

The former PM mainline--now the CSX line between Chicago and Detroit--through Mulliken, Michigan. Shot from Railroad Street, looking west.

"Sunday, August 13, 1939 Train on turntable ready to go in roundhouse Detroit, Mich Taken off from Ambassador Bridge" A little something for the railfans, today. In the near foreground is a bit of the Pere Marquette's enormous roundhouse, and off beyond the turntable is just a wee piece of PM's also-enormous riverfront yard. I rather like the bridge shadow on the roof and tracks. The bridge was about a decade old when this photo was taken. The roundhouse, which predated the bridge, is long gone, now. The still-large yard is just a shadow of its former self. Borucki's Lakers

As she left for work I'd told Joan I was going to photograph the old bridge that parallels the I-96 bridge across the Grand River south of Portland. Never got there. Instead I stopped at this bridge to take a few shots and just kept shooting. Portland's rail bridge was built in 1881 for one of the Pere Marquette predecessors and was in railroad use for about a century. It's now a feature of the local trail network, which runs about 7 miles along the Grand and Looking Glass Rivers. ========== This photograph is an outtake from my 2012 photo-a-day project, 366 Snaps . 366 Snaps project discussion for March 21 .
