Does anyone know when they last saw a steam locomotive in operation around the Detroit Metro Area?? I tought that the Detroit Salt Works, and even DTE still ran steam through the 1990's. if anyone has information on Detroit Steam, it would be appreciated.
I don't know about the Salt Works or much of anything else in Detroit, but I do know the Grand Trunk Western commuter service between Detroit and Durand was one of the last bastions of steam in the U.S., with many of the trains steam-powered as late as 1960.
Of course, there are the steamers at the Ford Museum in Dearborn.
