Lower Triple Junction

Switcher sneaking out of Lower Triple Junction without the passenger car.

Summit City on the Grand Rapids & Indiana Railroad

I think the siding was put in for the "Dinner Train", but from the looks of the building's setback there was another siding there in 1908 or so. When we moved to Kingsley in 1976, the store in Summit City was still standing and open.

I took this photo downstate in some town about 1999 or 2000. Anyone know what town?

Friday, March

Today was the first run of a Consolidation with Bullfrog Snot. Will it make the Hammond Grade? How many cars?
1st run with Parker Creek Engine #5 with ten cars was a breeze. So we added four more. 50 ft Pulpwood Loads no less. It needed sand near to Hammond a bit of a push on the way to Cinci, but still.

And here's a milk stand that I finished up tonight.

Traverse City was served by three railroads in 1908: Grand Rapids and Indiana (later Pennsylvania RR), Pere Marquette (later C&O), and the Manistee & Northeastern RR (later PM, and C&O).

Here's the trackplan that I re-drew from city plat maps.

We were over at Capron's workin' on his railroad today........
