Re: Lapeer to Stephens MI branch
Very interesting. I used your map and Also a ruler on google earth to trace a line from the section of grade still visible with erasable marker on my PC screen just north east of lapeer and I got down on street view. There are a few spots once u know exactly where to look that u can very faintly see where the railroad came thru wooded areas. This line has been gone so long unless u know exactly where to look for the grade on the side roads a person would prolly not even notice a railroad once went thru there.up to fish kake and 5lakes. From the aerial view u can can still see the raised railbed in the wooded areas nears the kake where the tracks curved around the lake.
