So, never mind, wrong post
CShaveRR The dark, dingy industry is precisely what I'd be looking for!Many years ago, before any of our kids were married, my brother-in-law brought his boat, his family, and my mother down to our area, and we took a triangle trip incorporating the Cal-Sag Channel, Calumet River, Lake Michigan, Chicago River, Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal, and back along the Cal-Sag Channel to our put-in point. Many interesting sights along there (and a couple of locks to go through), but the one that stuck in the minds of our kids, nieces, and nephews was a Hullett unloading coal from a barge on the Calumet River. Alas, no longer available to see.

The "Boblo Boats" passed Zug Island on their way to the park (Boblo Island, actually Bois Blanc Island). I remember Zug Island as being dark and dingy, which is no surprise given the industry there (N 42 16' 48" W 83 6' 50").
The bridge in the image is over the Rouge River.

Looks like DC 64 on my monitor.

beaulieu The locomotive model is a EMD SW1001.

Could be. That would make it DC 64.
I tried to sell my two cents worth, but no one would give me a plug nickel for it.
I don't have a leg to stand on.
Thanks guys!
Zugmann approves of this thread.
Probably Delray Connecting #65 a SW1200 I lightend the photo and could see that there is a circular emblem on the side of the hood. Could not tell number on side of cab but would be "DC 65" if identification is correct.
Locomotive #66 has "GREAT LAKES WORKS" on the side of the hood - no emblem on hood - US Steel emblem and "66" on cab..
schlimm zugmann Looks like the Delray Connecting Railroad. Very cool photos. Appropriately, it operates on Zug Island.
