Re: Grand Haven Fantrip Oct. 1958
Here's the video link. Starts with eastbound mike powered freight working hard upgrade from Fuller St. and nearly blowing the wood slats off Leffingwell Bridge. Easter Sunday, 1958. Then #56 charging eastbound across Grand River, headed for Plainfield Ave. station. Next, school kids (including one of my brothers) boarding train at Plainfield bound for Ada. Then Grand Haven excursion. This was my first upload to Youtube. One of these days I'll replace with little better quality version. Learned a few tricks since. But remember these 8mm films are 58 years old. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diQSHm15lHk
