Re: (erielack) team tracks without platforms & Tower

[Njricky2_@_aol.com]

Talk about capturing a slice of life from an era that was only about  60 
years ago. What great shots, especially the first one. 
 
With the eye conditioned to the size of things in the early 21st Century,  
the boxcars, trucks, cars, look almost miniature. Imagine superimposing an SUV  
in that first shot. What are the dimensions of the boxcars?
 
Again, thanks for the great photographs. I would love to be able to spend a  
day back then.

Bob,

Off hand, I  don't know the name. Will have to search.

But, you went by the tower  BEFORE you got to the station. It was actually 
part of the station  complex. It controlled all movements into the depot and 
going past the  depot down to the lake freighthouse and coal dumper.

In the attached  photo, you can see the tower at the end of the platform. It 
was located  right on Michigan St.
