Nope. The rails are still very much intact today as class 1 railroad.

Generally North oriented. I posted a photo of the bridge (1901) under the tracks a while back and it was guessed immediately.

Michael,
The third bridge in your photo now carries Cascade Dr. that feeds into a subdivision. But was it once for the " Detroit, Plymouth & Northville Electric Railway" ?

I am certain the Interurban went right down Northville Road from Northville into Plymouth and beyond.
I think the Interurban was discontinued in 1928 so I guess the flood photo was sometime after that??
