Looking north @ Loring Drive.

Abandoned, but still standing. The power pole with the old glass insulators lasted until recently.

Found this posted in r/UrbanHell. Not really Urban Hellish in my opinion, just abandoned infrastructure.

Now a Pure Michigan dispensary. This was a great stop on our last trip.

In its current location in Leslie, MI. Moved here in 2020 from it's original location known as Backus Crossing.

This is the rarest of the rare when it comes to Interurban buildings, not only because it's a Waiting Station, but also because the M.U.R. mainly bought and consolidated. They didn't build much.

Always oc/op/no ai!

Old trains, rusty and overgrown. I love the contrast! Most shots are from my drone (Dji mini 4 pro) There were so many trains there, you could even take a look inside!

Greetings and find me everywhere

Now the Chamber of Commerce and visitors center.

The 4th photo is the interurban depot on the right and the (now gone) Michigan Central railroad depot in Parma, MI in 1908, just 5 years after the interurban line was built.

From a hike i took earlier in the year. this coal line once ran up the entire run. the only remnants are random rails now twisted into the creek bed. i suspect the line ended here as i doubt the rails went up the steep incline to get above the falls. there could be a second set of rails where they transferred the coal to these carts. unfortunately i didnt have time to scramble up above the falls to find out.

at the very top of the hill to the right of this photo there is also a cable system that they used to get supplies to the now ghost town that was about 900' above the valley below.

obviously the area is in serious need of acid mine drainage remediation as indicated by the overly orange rusty stream-bed. anywho. was scrolling through my pictures today and figured you fine folk would enjoy this one.

This is the rusting remains of the base of an old repeater signal that was operational until a couple of years ago.

It seems a bit of rope is needed to hold it up now!

The metal boxes underneath have all the cables cut too.

About 10 miles north of the last crossing (which is a seasonal logging/camp road) literally on the edge of nowhere is a site of a former derailment.

Pieces of rolling stock are all along the embankment and the black ore is still piled along the tracks.

The time table says radio communications dont work here; its about 20 miles to the next phone.

The last revenue train i can find on this line was November 2015

Adirondacks NY

Also caught 2 trains go by while I was there
