Detroit & Mackinac Railway • Flatcar with 2 Detroit Police Cars

This was shot today with an iPhone 7 Plus.  This is MTH Premier.

The Detroit and Mackinac Railway, informally known as the "Turtle Line", was a railroad in the northeastern part of the Lower Peninsula state of Michigan. The main line ran from Bay City north to Cheboygan; it operated from 1894 to 1992,

Fallen Flag 1992

I have only one "fallen flag" on my layout currently. Norfolk & Western, with passenger cars.

A few pictures of the same thing

Still one of my favorite N5c cabooses, but the Rock didn't have them, of course. I just like portholes.

Nice Mike! I feel cooler already........

NYC 

ET&WNC: 1881–1983 (3-foot gauge ended in 1950)

A couple of my favorites:

Fallen flags? As in R.I.P.? 

I gotta data & mower...ok that stays

Wabash F3 breaking out of the tunnel.

AT&SF and the first 'Aspen Leaf' PA in O gauge from several years ago...

Favorite roads, fallen and otherwise, 1 and 2. In some ways, 2 is 1 and 1 is 2. Sometimes, they just add up to 3 and what does that mean?

Modified Williams scale FA-1, GM&O version (with GM&O-only early FA-1 headlight):

Strangely, for me, it's not a 4-6-4 photo. Atlas; the provided fixed pilot added:

Detroit Toledo & Ironton Railroad • D T & I

The Detroit, Toledo and Ironton Railroad (DTI) operated between its namesake cities of Detroit, Michigan and Ironton, Ohio via Toledo between 1905 and 1983. At the end of 1970 it operated 478 miles of road on 762 miles of track; that year it carried 1244 million ton-miles of revenue freight.

Love this color scheme.

It's my favorite too. Grew up watching this railroad until it was finally taken over by the N&W in 1982. It's still my all time favorite road to this day. I'd model it, but, not many choices for equipment or decals in O scale that I've found. I have a lot of IT equipment in HO that I still have.

And owned at one time by Henry Ford who electrified it around Detroit. He had plans to connect DT&I to the Virginian RR for ocean port access and electrify the whole thing; being "Edison's buddy" he saw the potential. I think the connection over the river in Ohio was his last obstacle (which line that was I forget).

Not exactly DT&I, not electric, or totally fallen either, but this is one of my all time favorites that I think ran on DT&I track at times....check out the grill work...just like a Ford car. Once Lionel made the GG-1, this was Gramps #1 request for decades, only eclipsed by the Jawn Henry. He saw all three under power too.

HI Adriatic:  Thanks for looking at my post and asking a question. This was shot with my IPhone 7 Plus about 30 minutes ago.  I point this out because it is the fastest way to get a current photo to the OGR Forum. Take the photo and e-mail it to my self and then post to the OGR Forum.

1998 Ford Crown Vic - Interceptor • Detroit Police Car / On a Radio Call at the Local Red Owl Grocery Store

The Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor (colloquially referred to simply as the CVPI, P71 or '"Crown Vic"') is a four-door body-on-frame sedan that was manufactured by Ford from 1992 1/2 to 2011. It is the law enforcement version of the Ford Crown Victoria. From 1997 and into the early 2010s, the Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor was the most widely used automobile in law enforcement operations in the United States and Canada. They were also used for this purpose on a more limited scale in other countries.

I got to thinking about this, aren't almost all railroad names fallen flags these days?

I think it'd be easier to name the RR names that still exist than the ones that no longer do!

Thanks P51, but this would be a very brief thread.............

Hi Paul:  Thanks for managing this thread and please keep it going for weeks and months to come.

At the end of the day this thread is about Railroad History.

Thanks Gary, I hear you. Railroad history indeed. Hoping more members contribute to this thread. Lot of good stuff out there.

I think those ex-BL&E F7s are on the Reading and Northern now maybe being restored.
