Ingham County Court House and Railroad Locomotive Repair - 20 September 2011

 

Ingham County Court House and Railroad Locomotive Repair

I needed a walk to reduce my blood glucose reading and had recently noticed two cranes near the railroad locomotive that had sat unused for a long time, so I headed towards the railroad tracks to see what was happening. I decided to take this opportunity to show how the Ingham County Courthouse in the city square dominates the landscape, so there are many views here showing the courthouse from many different vantage points. When I visited the locomotive repair location I was chased away from their property for tresspassing, so I had to take most of the photos from a little distance. All photos were taken with the Olympus PEN E-PL2 camera with Olympus 14-150 zoom lens.

Following are photos of the cranes and railway equipment that originally attracted my attention. It appears that the cranes were used to lift the locomotive body off the wheel assembly to allow installing a new wheel assembly. The old one looks rusted. The locomotive had remained at this location for weeks (maybe months) out of service.
