I grew up in Plymouth but left in the late 1960's when my Uncle Sam requested my services for several years. I remember reading articles in the Plymouth Mail (remember that?) about C&O engineers getting ticketed for blocking crossings. I guess that it's still a problem.

There was a picture of it in either the Detroit News or Times with a brief article stating 2 people were killed. For the life of me, I can'...

When I was a kid in Plymouth in the 50's and 60's we used to walk there there all the time before the houses were built. Back then we called it Waterford Lake. Some of my friends went swimming there although I'm not sure just how clean the water was. We used to walk along the spur and cross the neat...
