Re: Detroit Eastside 12.20.21
Very nice pictures, I always like seeing the trains working in Detroit I had started my electronics training at RETS that was located at East Grand Blvd & Mt Elliot back in 1976. Miss the days of the Bob-Lo boats & when Vernors was still made in Detroit & had attended the grand opening day for Ren-Cen. Back then, I was living in St. Clair Shores between 9 & 10 Mile on the Jefferson end.

It seems the fluid recycling plant has been slow. That's where most of the tank cars used to go but lately hardly anything.

Nice documentation. Interesting to see that ADBF 836 still retains its Super Company spark arrestor. I remember when GTW bought a semi load of those for all of their SW's in the late 60's/early 70's.
