The 2 Railroads Of Cadillac
After the Ann Arbor declared bankruptcy in 1973, they eventually became a part of Conrail known as the Michigan Interstate Railway, and eventually the State of Michigan took over and it became the Ann Arbor Railroad System. Also in Cadillac was the lesser known Michigan Northern which operated the former Pennsy. Both operated ecclectic power with the Ann Arbor utilizing 10 GP35s and a handful of alco switchers. The Michigan Northern was a haven of Baldwins of various types. Respective examples of each are seen outside the Cadillac shops in May of 1979 with a GP35 and 1 of the 2 surviving Baldwin RF16 sharks that were plagued with problems. Photo by Emery Gulash.
