Re: GTW - Pontiac and Durand - In a better time...
Great photos! I wouldn't refer to it as "Annie's eviction," though. In early 1974, the Ann Arbor was mired in bankruptcy and needed to save every dollar it could. Thus it sensibly decided to abandon its own line past Pittsburg Rd. in favor of GTW trackage rights through Durand. Granted, the scene at the depot became less interesting with that move.
