Excellent photo Ron! Man I wish I had a time machine so I could see times like this.

Great shot of Mackinaw City before just before the abandonment of the line.

A real classic that can sadly no longer be repeated.

Great shot to see. My folks had a cabin next to the Michigan Northern just south of Charlevoix, MI. I recall only hearing the horns a few times as a kid before the tracks came up in the 80's. One question though, it looks like the geeps in the photo are sporting SEMTA logos as well (you can just barely read SEMTA on the side of the long hood as well). Was the whole consist borrowed, or are these ex-SEMTA geeps that haven't been repainted into MN's green and white scheme?
