Strictly Functional
This double row of white metal fences is designed to keep animals, cars, and people off the tracks as Amtrak trains zoom through the tiny village of Galien, Michigan, several times a day. The building in the background is currently the home of the storefront Galien Missionary Church. When I was growing up in the 50s & 60s it housed the Swem General Store. The store was on the first floor and the proprieters, Encell and Violet Swem, lived on the second floor.
