Station looking west
Title:  Station looking west
Description:  Maine Central Station at Detroit, Me c1910 from a Picture Post Card. If I’ve matched the lay of the land with my last few trips through Detroit this scene is taken from what today is the Rt220 over pass looking west. The road on the left is still there and is used by PAR for crew change and MOW access to the right of way. It is single track today with a switch just round the bend to an industy on the north (right) side of the main line. In this scene there’s a box car on the team track, & a long low platform with what looks like a set of steps to assist folks on and off coachs. Is that a platform beside the westbound track for handing up train orders?? I suspect it is. /DL
