Woweee! Looks like the CASO was the railfan place to be during the war years, especially if you were looking for some exciting action.
Providing you left your camera at home. I wouldn't have wanted to be caught dead with one near the place, there'd be too much explaining to do to some rather humorless men in those years.
Diesels running thru the Detroit River Tunnel reminded me that they not only pushed aside the steam locos, but also the tunnel electrics.
Excellent point Midland Mike ...another reason to despise them, the electrics were so good looking...very railroady, nothing like them anywhere else. Some would disagree with that but we know they are simply misguided.
