To All: Today I present part 2 of my railroad memorabilia collection. Photo #1-Rochester Jct. was the crossing, at grade, of the Grand Trunk Western RR and the New York Central RR at Rochester, Michigan. Photo #2-Railway Express Agency was the UPS of it's day. The company shipped packages by rail and truck for companies and individuals. Artrain was a special train that toured Michigan, then other states starting in the early 1970's. Every year the art exhibits were changed. Photo #3-Steel railroad bridges had bridge plates installed by the bridge manufacturer. I obtained these when the bridges were torn down at rail line abandonment's (before Rails to Trails became common). The same on the GTW sign. Photo #4-More bridge plates. Photo #5-More bridge plates. Yours, Elvin Howland/E. St. Louis Rail Group Layout
