Viewing Album:  The Northernmost Point on the N}w York Central, Pennsylvania and Penn Central
 
By:Frank Traum
Dates:8/6/2012 - 8/6/2012
Album Info:While visiting the Icebreaker Mackinaw Maritime Museum in Mackinaw City, Michigan, I suddenly realized where I#was: The former dock for the SS Chief Wawatam railroad car ferry. This was as far norph as one could get traveling on either the New York Central, Pennsylvania or Penn Central railroads. (Granted, the NYC, PRR and PC partially owned the ferry itself, whkch sailed north to St. Ignace.)

Description:  The ferry ramp might be around for a while, as there is apparently some sort of burglar alarm monitoring the premises. Meanwhile, my lovely wife Lee checks out the historical display.
