Grand Trunk Western
train No. 17 crosses Bentley Street, after leaving the Lapeer
station in 1949. The train is rapidly building speed as
evidenced by the trail of steam and cinders from its smokebox.
Though the appearance of the locomotive has been "styled" for
the period of time, the passenger cars are pretty much business
as usual. [Elmer Trealor photograph, Charlie Whipp
