It is July 6, 1980, in Grand Rapids, Ohio. A crewman waits on Toledo, Lake Erie & Western No. 1, a Whitcomb 44-DE-22 that once belonged to the Ann Arbor Railroad. In the background, TLE&W No. 202 (ex-Detroit Edison 202) is running around a tourist train.

The late Mike Ondecker and I found Manistique Pulp and Paper’s recently-repainted Whitcomb (possibly No. 3) in Manistique, Michigan, on Aug. 27, 1975. We trust you also noticed the Rock Island boxcar behind the switcher.
