Aren't there some old crossing signals like these in Watervliet (or maybe it's Coloma I'm thinking of)?GrandTrunkFan wrote:Almost as interesting to me as the wig wag, are these signals on Washington, just up the tracks from the machinery place:

Whats the story about these? Ive never seen any like them either. Lansing has/had unique crossing signals in the past eh?

Why do you think this is a ca 1917 map if it has the 10/21 notation on it?
Larry, do you like fried gizzards?Larry G wrote:Would be glad to share the map and what limited knowledge I have with you.
Most of it is from just living in the area for years of my youth. The map is limited from Farm Lane to Washington Ave on the GTW ROW. It does not have much on the MC or LS&MS. My two scans pretty much cover that. I can scan the Trowbridge area if anyone is interested in that area.
Need to set up a time when the weather for driving is certain so perhaps in the spring.

Nice photos. Interestingly, in the aerial photography at Google Maps, CNUR 511 is clearly sitting on the plant spur just outside the fence, whereas you found it on the main almost in the woods. I wonder what they move(d) it with.rustbeltrailroad wrote:Here are some pic I took at Reid last summer... Same fr8, different position.

Funny, when I worked at Fisher Body in Lansing, I used a loader to push gondolas. Usually 10 at a time though.Tim wrote:Doesn't take much to move a rail car on level track. I remember them moving box cars inside Fisher Body in Lansing by pushing it with half a dozen guys. Reid most likely used a finger truck or a highway truck to do the job.
