Good job Pixl. I can only think of 3 of the C&O bridges around here. 2 in Northville and this one in Livonia. There must be others though.

I like the one you mentioned PM1223 https://goo.gl/maps/IxIwX

Was holding off a little before posting this, but I'm also looking for the story on where this came from and why the coal cars would be here. I wanted to use it in this thread before I posted it in a more appropriate forum looking for information about what we're looking at.

White Pigeon on the Michigan Southern. Not exactly sure of the story behind the business, though.

Thanks Pixl, I took the photo Sunday, coming home from the meet. I don't recall seeing it the last time I was in WP, this would be near the new engine house, west of the paper company. If it's not on Google, it may well be fairly new. The coal hoppers were something I hadn't seen in WP before.
