Another R-O-W ! The Pere Marquette Railroad laid its rails to Lansing a decade after the LS&MS , in 1888. One result of that tracklaying project was my town, Mulliken. As you can see, this line is still in operation; it's owned by CSX, with lots of Canadian Pacific traffic via Soo Line trackage rights (I like these complications). We haven't really had a lot of snow this season, but it's been quite grey much of the time. This photo was taken from behind the Mulliken Post Office; I was facing east, with the empty grain silos just out of the picture to the right.
