Chasing the TC Turn, 4 of 4

Completing a series of posts chasing the the Traverse City Turn of the Great Lakes Central: here the train is seen south of Manton, Michigan, by two or three miles.

The former Grand Rapids and Indiana line, later Pennsylvania, looks really attractive here, curving back and forth a bit through the landscape of the northern lower peninsula.

Continuing a series of posts chasing the the Traverse City Turn of the Great Lakes Central: here the train is seen rolling through the town of Manton, Michigan.

Since my previous post, the train as made the mainline of the former Grand Rapids and Indiana at Walton Junction and is moving southward toward Cadillac.

Traverse City Turn, 7 of 7

Last Friday I was able to squeeze off some shots of Great Lakes  Central’s Traverse City Turn—I’ll put up a series of posts here to  illustrate this (7/7).

My last few images, and final post, has our little train rumbling through Manton, Michigan. This is now the main line of the Grand Rapids and Indiana, which ran from Fort Wayne, Indiana, north to Petoskey, Michigan. The crew is almost back to its home base of Cadillac, just eleven miles down the pike.
