Interlocken, MI: C&O/PM+Manistee and North Eastern Depot and Junction Tower

Crossing: (Satellite)

Greg Bunce posted
Interlochen, Michigan crossing of the Pere Marquette and the Manistee and North Eastern in Northwestern Lower Michigan.  Both lines are now gone.

The "National Music Camp" is why I have heard of the town Interlocken.

The M&NE was gone by 1956. I found another map that shows it came up from between the two lakes.   1956 Thompsonville Quad @ 62,500

The Pere Marquette is easy to find on a satellite image since it appears to be a trail. But the M&NE is pretty well erased. So, I got this aerial to find the M&NE.
Apr 1, 1955 @ 17,000; AR1VBF000060052

The M&NE was between Depot Road and J. Maddy Pkwy where it crossed the PM. The joint depot appears to be gone by 1955 since the M&NE has been abandoned.
