Hi Bill,
Just as a side note if you are ever in the area again and can find your way
to Littleton there is a tall concrete viaduct that the RR built just outside
the north edge of town that is still intact the last time I saw it. There is
a blacktop road leading north out of the middle of town that goes right by
it. It's very impressive looking among all the surrounding farmland. By the
way the MI&L did have a connection with the CB&Q in Macomb.
Regards..
Ken
