The Michigan Central tracks are those running from the wrecking crane toward the bottom right of this photograph, while the wrecking crane's train is standing on the New York Central tracks. Present day Wagner Road, which crosses both tracks, would be directly behind the photographer.Three chimneys are visible above the house at the upper right in this photograph. These chimneys are part of the Chicago Hydraulic Pressed Brick Company's production facility at Porter.Copyright 2012. Some rights reserved.
