Loading the Viking #1
Ann Arbor railroad Alco S3 Number 7 is switching out the MV Viking at Elberta, MI. using its Idler cars. The head end brakeman can be seen riding the brake on the CN box car being shoved into the rail car hold of the Viking (out of sight to the left) as the Arthur K. Atkinson looks on, moored in the distance. All rail service as well as the car ferries left forever with the cessation of cross Lake Michigan service a few years after these two photos in this series were made. KR64 slide scan. 1980
