  • Ann Arbor Railroad, Howell, Michigan

    This is a photograph of the Ann Arbor Railroad engine, believed to be taken in Howell, Livingston, Michigan.

    Through a quick Google maps reference, using the center home, now McDonald's funeral home, and the extremely characteristic stone block house at the foot of Higgins, this photo was taken from the general area of the foot of Walnut Street, either on or near the Ann Arbor Railroad Depot grounds or where the parking lot now resides. The subject is Ann Arbor No. 1, ordered in 1941 and the first diesel locomotive of the Ann Arbor railroad. The nature of the locomotive paint has me thinking that this photo was taken in the 1940s or very early 1950s, and as No. 1 was almost exclusively used as the dedicated switcher for the Owosso Yard, this photo could be of either a special move, or the delivery of the locomotive itself from another interchange to the Owosso Yard as by all indications, the unit with caboose is facing north in that direction.

  • Ann Arbor Railway and Depot, Howell, Michigan - 1984

    This photograph is of the Ann Arbor Railway and Depot, located at the intersection of North Walnut and Wetmore Streets, Howell, Michigan, and was taken as part of documentation for the R/UDAT Study, 1984.  In this view, looking west,  from the Michigan Avenue Bridge is the depot, train tracks, Holkins lumber, and part of a parking lot.

    In 1983, the Howell Area Chamber of Commerce applied for a R/UDAT (Regional/Urban Design Assistance Team) study, an American Institute of Architects program that brought a team of professionals to the city for a four-day period to study Howell's downtown, its ability to compete for regional shopping, and to make recommendations for improvements to re-vitalize the city.  The team, in 1984, during the study took photographs, interviewed people, held forums, and in the end provided an outline of strategies.
