A Lake State Railway Engine

So I was up at my mom's this weekend.  As we were out and about, I stumbled across this train engine.

 The engine belongs to the Lake State Railway and I believe I've covered them before on this blog.  But I might have had their name wrong (I called them Lake Shore).  But I find railroad histories pretty interesting.

 The Lake State Railway inherited most of what was the Detroit and Mackinac back in 1992.  It also acquired a line that was owned by the Michigan Central.

 The Detroit and Mackinac had a fairly long history of its own.  It operated from 1894 to 1992.  It was called the Turtle Line at one point.

 It basically went from Bay City to Mackinac City.

 I kind of wish I had stumbled across the striped train though.

 Since it was just sitting there, I decided to take some angles that I don't normally get a chance to take.

 Looking up at the cab.

 Looking down the length of the train.

 Looking down the length from the other side.

Another angle of the cab.
