This is a bascule  style bridge.  It is located in Michigan City Indiana.  It carries Franklin street over Trail Creek.  It was built in 1932.

    I happened upon this building by chance when I was visiting the Old Michigan City Lighthouse.  It is a one story brick New York Central Craftsmen Style Building at 100  Washington Street.   It was built for the Michigan Central Rairoad in 1905. I do not know when it ceased being used as a train station.  

     Apparently over the years, it was used by multiple restaurants.  Some of these were Swingbellys, 100 Washington and Arcadia.  Currently, it appears vacant. There appears to be a homeless encampment adjacent to the building.

     There is a concrete platform and three sided shelter adjacent to the railroad tracks in this area.  For forty years, these were used by Amtrak.  This service was discontinued in 2022.

     This structure was built for the former Pete Marquette Railroad Line.in 1942.  It is located in new Buffalo, Michigan.   It now straddles the main line of tracks owned by  the CSX line. It was in use for only 14 years.

     Coal was raised to the holding area by elevator.  The capacity was 250 tons.It had the ability to load 2 main lime trains.

     The New Buffalo Railroad Museum is located at 530 S. Whittaker in New Buffalo.  It is located on the grounds of what was the largest train yard in South West Michigan. This yard was built for the  Pete Marquette Railroad.  It was built in 1919-1920.   The yard was a large complex complete with a round house, water towers and 2 coaling towers.It was operated until 1947.  At this time the railroad was sold to the C& O Railroad.  

      The New Buffalo Railroad Museum was founded in 1989.  The Museum Building is a replica of the original Pere Marquette Railroad Station that stood at this site in the 1920’s. It was constructed from the original blueprints by Alvin R. Kissman, David Ohms, and George Slechta.

     There are multiple exhibits in the museum.

    Outside the building there are multiple rail cars including: a Pullman Troops Sleeper Car, Chesapeake System Caboose and multiple box cars.

     Adjacent to the Railroad Museum is the deserted roundhouse from the railroad yard.
