Manistee River Bridge

This bridge, over the Manistee River just north of Manton, Michigan, is being rebuilt. Given that, here are three images I took of the earlier iteration just a couple years ago. I should say: we're on the Great Lakes Central Railroad while the line is former Grand Rapids & Indiana (Pennsylvania Railroad/Penn Central/Conrail).

The top image shows a northbound train at the locale (taken August 31st 2022). The second image has a southbound train there (June 27th 2023) with an SD35 in charge, while the last shows a train moving in the same direction (taken July 18th 2023).

Three images by Richard Koenig.

Remarkable Short Line Railroading

[graintrainbrain]

SPR 15, a GE 44-ton locomotive, pulls a passenger coach for Southern Prairie Railways in Ogema, Saskatchewan. A tourist railway, SPR is operated by the Ogema Heritage Railway Association and runs on trackage formerly part of the CPR Assiniboia subdivision, now owned by shortline railway company Red Coat Road & Rail. SPR's locomotive was purchased in 2010 from Conway Scenic Railway in Conway, New Hampshire, and was originally built in 1945 as a switcher for the Maine Central Railroad.
