Blueprint of the proposed Mackinac Bridge causeway including rail from 1933. I think somebody else posted a link to this a while back, but I'm not sure who or when or where (In a whisper, "I think it was the other board"). I'm not trying to steal their thunder. Anyway, here it is again.

Thanks for the compliment. I try to learn as much as I can so one day I can hopefully pass down what others teach me. At least someone notices something I'm good at. You'd be amazed by how many of the older guys in this hobby are shocked at how much I know at 18 years old.1223 OUT! President and Founder of the Buck Creek Central, the Rolling River Route!

Re: Michigan Northern remains
When were the tracks removed between Comstock Park and Cadillac? Any before and after pics? I'm guessing almost 10 years passed before anything was done to remove the tracks. Some of those towns probably got sick of looking at rusty, overgrown rails.

Someone posted a shot of the yogurt plant's expansion on the History board on the other site several years ago. IIRC, the expansion was semi-complete before the abandonment was actually approved...? I don't remember who posted the photo though.
