It was bustling with train traffic back in the day , both passenger and freight . My first train ride in the early 50's , I was about 7 standing in Windsor station and they pulled up a steam loco , belching and roaring ......wonder I didn't pee my pants but I was both scared and captivated at the same moment ....probably where I got hooked on trains and then got my first O scale train set a year later . Good memories .
You probably have learned that there was a train tunnel running under the Detroit river a little further west of your last picture ....it served freight trains crossing the border . It was so narrow , allowing one train to squeeze through , that people trying to cross th border illegally through the tunnel , were killed, since they had nowhere safe to hide when the train bore down on them .

To err is human, to blame it on somebody else shows management potential.
