Intervallo: The Great Lakes Central, No Longer
Once again I will take a little break in the month-long series of posts on the Great Divide in New Mexico. Here we'll see a chase of a very short train on the Traverse City branch of the Great Lakes Central, now owned by Watco. (Heritage of the line is Pennsy/GR&I.)
Fighting difficult lighting here, our little train has gone through Summit City and is now just south of, and rolling toward, Kingsley, Michigan. Odd bamboo-like grass grows along the railroad in this area.
