Nostalgia & History > Ghostly Remains - Mackinaw City Float BridgeDate: 05/25/15 13:24 Ghostly Remains - Mackinaw City Float Bridge Author: train1275 While wandering about recently in Mackinaw City, Michigan, I found the remains of the old railroad float bridge. Not much else is left other than the bike trails that were once railroad.

In 1983 the State of Michigan pulled the funding that kept it afloat. I'll dig out a slide and scan it. === === = === JLH
