 C&O MofW Tie Gang - Plymouth, MIThis is actually the first image in the series. The LOCATION is Plymouth, Michigan. Probably 1965 They are all scanned from 3" x 4 1/2" images and cropped to 4" x 6". this produced files of about 2 to 2.5 MB. Prior to uploading they were resized. Hope the files aren't too small ! As a test, this image was sent again using a larger file.flafiretwo
