Yea, too bad. I think these artifacts are way more interesting in their original habitat. Looses something when it end up in a garage or back yard. I hope this one stays there many more years for other railfans to discover.J T wrote: last time I rode on the path I noticed it had disappeared. I'm guessing someone has it in their garage now.
What is a PM Land Line? Any pictures? I'll go out and find one.CAT345C wrote:You get more points if you can find an old Pere Marquette Concrete Land line
I hear ya, note my post indicates these are more interesting in their original environment rather than someones garage.dmitzel wrote: Anyway, happy hunting - but please, leave the artifacts in their place so others can enjoy too.
Do you mean a "land survey monument"?Pixl wrote: I still need to ask what is the difference of a mile marker vs a land line monument?
I don't know what it is, I was just referencing what CAT345c posted earlier in this thread. Anyone..anyone?Norm wrote: Do you mean a "land survey monument"?
The current day Ludington sub from Baldwin 107.0 to Wahalla 120.0 that makes 13 miles bewteen the two. The wye for the Manistee sub would prolly be considered about 120.7ishTodd Cline wrote:As an edit to that above.....
This was in the mid-1970's.. I have been trying to figure out if the C&O changed the mileposts after 1955, when they abandoned the Baldwin-Kaleva route in favor of Baldwin- Walhalla-Manistee-Kaleva, In order to decommission High Bridge over the Manistee river. That would have added some considerable mileage to the route.. I never knew if they re posted the mileposts up there... Anyone here know the story???

I'm still a little bitter that I've never seen a train go down those tracks (and probably never will at this point), including when they still went all the way to the BWL plant. Growing up in Lansing, it was always my mission to catch a train there. About 10 years ago, a friend of mine lived in that building next to the tracks, and he called me a couple of times to tell me the train was going by. Of course, living in GR by that time, there was no way I could get there in time to see it.MP73point4 wrote:OK, I'll cough up a photo of one of these "Land Line" posts. This one is in North Lansing's "Old Town" area at Turner St. There hasn't been a train down this spur in years. It can be seen in the main photo to the left of the engine right next to the brick building and the sidewalk.
