I've been way to busy lately to work on any of my modeling projects, so its time for another prototype pic. Today's picture is another Detroit & Mackinac shot from Garland McKee. It shows #381 switching the railroad ferry Chief Wawatam at Mackinaw City, MI. The Chief was used to transport rail cars between Mackinaw City and St. Ignace, Michigan since there was no rail connection along the Mackinac Bridge. The Chief operated from 1911 to 1984.
