Grand Trunk Western Images, Page Five
The Photography of Dr. Louis Marre
The images on this page are the great work of Dr. Louis Marre. Through a good friend, Dan Lawecki, who provided these Marre photographs for me to scan, I am please to add them to my Grand Trunk Western Ghost Lines page.
Left: October 1959. Westbound freight passing through South Bend. Train has just passed Union Station. Right: Eastbound passenger passing the Studebaker Office building, downtown South Bend, October 1959.
Left: Another shot of the passenger, October 1959. Not 100% sure of this location. I believe it is between Mishawaka and Granger. Right: September 1959 finds this mixed lash up of motive power coming on the "high line", at High Street, of elevated track they shared with the NYC.
