GRHC - you know every night I can imagine he is in front of his computer screen sitting in his underwear swearing profusely and drinking Blatz beer combing the RailRoadFan website for grammatical errors.

Is that straight line up the center of the picture an old ROW, or are we just looking at the caboose?

It's the 1950's. The plant is still there and still has rail service.

That little loco looks just like the one from the paper mill in kallamazoo (now in N. Muskegon). Can I assume this is near an airport because of the paint job on the water tower?
