Waterfront Railroading Posts

I don't have enough time to investigate these now, so I'm just saving them for now. Of particular interest is the McMyler brand of coal unloader. And there are about three posts concerning the Erie ferry operations in Chicago.

Since we seem to be discussing the Erie waterfront facilities, I came across an interesting article on the "Handling Business at New York Terminals - Erie Railroad". The article is a reprint of an original Erie employee magazine article from 1913. It was amazing how many trains were running at that time handling the port's business. The article was in the the Midlander Trainsheet, the newsletter of the New Jersey Midland Railroad Historical Society, issue Vol. 11 No. 1. The society has a website and offers copies of their newsletters for sale, but Vol. 11 was not listed yet. Attached is a scan of two of the photos showing the Erie's Weehawken terminal and the Jersey City grain elevator.

OK- at first glance, this photo of the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad Freight Station in downtown Chicago may not seem to be relevant to our group. It was served by its own bascule bridge, but that is not what connects it to us. Believe it or not, this facility included a riverfront "lighterage terminal", which was accessed by the tracks curving sharply to the right in front of that curved building. Apparently, vessels could take advantage of this service here, which used ships with hoists and derricks to load and unload the contents of ships and railroad cars. AMAZING!

Built in 1911, the Chief Wawatam was a hand-fired, coal burning car ferry that operated between Mackinaw City and St. Ignace, Michigan until 1984. Here we see a Detroit & Mackinac crew pulling loads at Mackinaw City in 1984.
