Interesting story. I love things I remember about the railroad when it was still in tact in my hometown. It's funny I tell people about the railroad yard and the depot in front of the factories in harbor beach MI who are in their mid 20s even 30s and they look at me like huh what? There was a railroad here? It's almost totaly erased now except for the bike trail which is the old grade and the trail on the south end of town. I remember right before the tracks were removed in 95 a group of teens were hanging out at the beach and they decided to release the brakes on a boxcar and push it across the crossing at the beach and leave it there. Took about 15 minutes before police showed up and had a tractor at the elevator push the cars back lol.
