Silent Monoliths
Just got my copy of this by Jeff Brouws: a fabulous body of work to be sure, published by the MIT Press. Had to dig around in my files to find one of his subjects, taken nearly a decade ago now: seen in Augusta, Michigan, along the NYC/Michigan Central.
Coaling Tower/Blue Water
Amtrak number 365, the Blue Water, is seen hustling toward Chicago, threading the legs of an ancient coaling tower of the Michigan Central/New York Central.
As stated in an earlier post, this tower is located along Highway 12 a couple of miles east of Michigan City, Indiana, along the Michigan Central/New York Central.

Coaling Tower
Here's a coaling tower along the Michigan Central/New York Central. We’re just east of Michigan City, Indiana, along Highway 12. In the distance, between the tower's legs, one can see the huge cooling (not coaling) tower for NIPSCO.
In an upcoming photo book, Jeff Brouws concentrates on these Goliaths of an earlier era. A preview of the text states that this particular tower was built by Roberts and Schaefer in 1924. In a day or two, look for a post of mine that will show an Amtrak train racing past/through this structure.

Eastbound Wolverine
After seeing the westbound Wolverine, I knew it wouldn’t be long for the eastbound (number 354) to come along. I thought the headlight would light up the coaling tower, but perhaps I will have to do again in darker conditions.
Once again: former Michigan Central between Galesburg and Augusta, Michigan. I believe this portion of the line is now 110 MPH as it has been west of Kalamazoo for quite some time.
