Leaning

A Sunday grain extra on the Huron & Eastern traverses a lesser-used section of the railroad as it travels to Brown City in the farthest, most rural reaches of the railroad's system. To the right of the train is a fixed approached semaphore blade that once gave a distant approach indication to eastbound Pere Marquette trains approaching Hoyt Junction in Saginaw, Michigan. The signal likely dates to the 1920s and certainly owes it's survival to it's isolated location between grade crossings.
