Thanks for the interesting post. ALLEN Date: 01/19/20 15:37 Re: French Turboliner to Detroit Author: refarkas You caught so much to see. You have not only the Turboliner but what looks to be a station on the left, the signals in the background, and the poor track conditions on the left. What a piece of history this is!

Andy Date: 01/19/20 19:22 Re: French Turboliner to Detroit Author: cabsignaldrop Look at that track! Great photo, thanks so much for sharing...the 70s were an interesting time on US railroads.

The signals are for the South Shore crossing at 10th Street. The C&O is a few miles to the left. To the immediate left now is the big Lighthouse Place outlet mall.
