I'm surprised no one has put up a picture that directly focuses at an Interurban yet...

Oh man I love things like this, especially if I get to rescue a relic or two along the way! Any way I could get in the loop on this?

Trying to circumvent the 3-embed quote limit by trashing one starter and screwing up the formatting isn't the way to go. For the sake of reading, please learn to edit your posts more effectively! :roll:

I've noticed you doing this on numerous occasions. In this case, you made it look like people said things they didn't...the names got mis-aligned with the text. If you're trying to get the target off your back, at least do the simple things...please and thank-you.

Really dude??? Worry about somthing other then my posts. I will do them however I want. Last time I checked your not the Postmaster. If you read the posts like other people have told ME to do on numerous occasions you should be able to follow my comments. FYI professor, "Thank You" does not have a hyphen in it, since your so critical of my posts I guess I will worry about yours.

We're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue.......
I just saw this one researching the old Detroit, Monroe & Toledo Short Line (or is it Shore Line?)
That is the old overpass over Eureka Road in Wyandotte. http://goo.gl/maps/NoQ36


The photo I posted also relates to the Interurban as well.

Hmmnn.. could it be the power house generating electric for the interurbans?
I suppose you want to know where. There is a possible clue in the jpg file name. GTLP. Something, something, light and power. :wink:

Good job Pixl, You figured out it was a power house for the interurban, perhaps it was the "Old Powerhouse" sign like PM1223 said :lol: but either way it probably won't take long to locate it. It is currently a winery and it does have an historical marker out front.

p.s. the GTLP.JPG was just random or perhaps it was a slip on my part

It did serve as a power house, freight house and passenger depot but it is not in Zeeland.
