Good looking bridge. I'm guessing it'll have much more room to stand on for pics.

Maybe they'll install rock guards on it to discourage loitering...J T wrote:Good looking bridge. I'm guessing it'll have much more room to stand on for pics.

Just in case anyone is feeling nostalgic, Nelson’s Farm Market, just off M-37 and the tracks about halfway between Grant and the Colonial Ave bridge, sells T Shirts featuring An image of the bridge at their farm market store, along with the 1905-2019 dates.

Is that wht 3008 and mates were tied up in Grant on Sunday. Or do they always tie up there? Made for a colorful fall scene coming down M-37.

Not sure what 3008 is but they will often tie up anywhere between Newaygo and Sparta on the weekends.Super Chief wrote: ↑Mon Oct 12, 2020 10:56 pmIs that wht 3008 and mates were tied up in Grant on Sunday. Or do they always tie up there? Made for a colorful fall scene coming down M-37.
