Artists? Yea right. More like vandals defacing public property, rail cars, etc. Not my cup of tea.

Correct. This new customer will displace the frame unloading at Mound Yard. No net gain of business for Conrail unless with volume of frames to unload.

This one should be easy. Everything you need to identify it is in the picture. Obviously not Michigan.

It's Senzu Station on the Oigawa Railway. It's a 24 mile long passenger railroad. In the 70's they re-introduced steam to boost their tourist business running stem on one train almost daily. Good eye AARR, that is Hiro in the distance. There was a Rusty there and another full size locomotive dressed up as a Thomas character.

Back to Michigan. This bridge has been replaced with a more modern structure. I can't tell if it's logs in the foreground or wood scraps. There was once a raceway here to a powerhouse. It's now a road down to the river.

Hopefully it's not too easy, but there is a hint in the photo if you can find it.

Newaygo again? It'd be looking north. Hills are about right on the north side, and the south bank was an extensive lumber operation.
