East Tawas Michigan Railroad Crossing in the 1960s.

Post by ToledoRailfan »

Here is what the crossing on Newman St. looked like in the 1960s before there were even traffic signals there!

I wish the crossing still had the same signals as it did in the 1960s, I love the old cantilever!

Here it is a again in the 1960s. Wow! A lot of things had changed to this intersection just in that decade, the crossing even had a teardrop bell!

Here is the crossing now, I took these on April,5th,2015 when I was waiting for two trains that never came, I did it again the next night. It was very cold. They did come during the day while I was not at the hotel, probably because it was Easter weekend, the person who worked at the front desk said trains come there at the same time every night.
