Скачать или смотреть The Pere Marquette Bascule Bridge Before and After It's Demolition

This video talks about the former Pere Marquette ABT Bascule Bridge's history, and the demolition process.

I do not support the Yacht Club's decision on demolishing the historic bridge, but please do not send hate towards them.


Here are some videos you might enjoy showing Port Huron Trains the way it was, many years ago.

"Detroit St Clair Rail Ferries" (1988) - Shows the Boat Yards in operation in Sarnia, ON and Port Huron, MI. It also shows the Detroit/Windsor ferry operations.

"St Clair Tunnel-Port Huron,MI & Sarnia,ON-(Old Tunnel)Aug,1992" (1992) - This video shows a shot of a GTW Ferry Local passing the 10th Street train crossing, which is now a walking trail.
(   • St Clair Tunnel-Port Huron,MI & Sarnia,ON-...  )

"Port Huron, Michigan & Southern Ontario Trains in 1993 - GTW, CSX, CN, CP, VIA and Amtrak" (1993) - This is the video I mentioned in the video, so you don't really need an explanation of what's in it.
(   • Port Huron, Michigan & Southern Ontario Tr...  )

"Trains of Michigan - March 30 1995" (1995) - Near the end of the video, you see 16th Street just after the new tunnel was constructed, and brief shots of the old tunnel, and a CSX train headed for Boat Yard.

"CSX EB at 16th Street (Port Huron)" (2003 or 2004) - This video is likely the last video taken of the CSX line to Boat Yard before the line was demolished.

(Movies)

"Grand Trunk, Part 2 Battle Creek - Port Huron" Clear Block Productions (1994) - This is possibly the best video ever taken of Port Huron prior to the new tunnels construction. Near the middle/end of this video production shows Port Huron Yard when it was under control of GTW, and it also shows Boat Yard in action for both GTW and CSX.
