You know... DTE (Detroit Edison) used steam well into the 1990's I believe until the turn of this century on the Detroit plant. Also the Detroit Salt Works used it until 1989. But, there is one thing I am not quite sure about... In August 1993 there was I want to say an 2-8-0, no roadname that passe...

Well, folks thanks to D.F. Barnheart & Assoc. they have sold Florida East Coast RR #148, an oil burner, to a group up in Traverse City Michigan. From what I can tell the #148 was moved after the line it was working on (Indepentant Branch) was closed down. Far as I can tell, it needs a cab, defia...
