Lake State Railway Port Huron Paper Spur with Rare Bascule Drawbridge - MP15AC 1501 - 09/03/2020

Chased Lake State's Y505 job on their isolated branch line in Port Huron. Known as the Paper Spur, this branch being leased to LSRC by CN services two paper mills and another industry. What makes this branch line run by Lake State unique is that it is completely isolated from the rest of the LSRC's growing network in Michigan.

A Scherzer rolling-lift bridge, less common type of drawbridge. We've got one in Chicago, and a few in Joliet that that are moved pretty frequently.

I wonder why LSRC never do they Box cars I bet if they took over the other branch they probably would.
