Mike LaCourse posted four pictures of a train coming across with the comment: "GT 4629 coming from Domtar Paper Co, crossing the Black River in Port Huron, MI. Looks like a redid gp9? with a different cab." Jonathon Leese added: "GP9R. GTW rebuilt around 30 of them in the early 90's in Battle Creek."

On March 24, 1998 are looking east and see the GTW's Black River Drawbridge on the "HR" at Port Huron, Michigan. On the left is the Port Huron Paper Co., which I understand will be closing shortly...very sad...they were always a good GTW customer! (C. H. Geletzke, Jr. photo)

A Port Huron index for David Cenci has a 2010 photo with the comment: "GTW 4918 leads the "HR Job" east across Water St, and across the bascule bridge over the Black River" Another photo on page 5 of his index with the comment: "GTW job L504, with the GTW 4915 as power, waits for the conductor to get back on board after lowering the GTW's Black River drawn bridge at Water St." A 2015 picture with the bridge in the up position in the background.

Video of it being lowered, a train crossing, then raised. I normally ignore videos taken by cell phones with a vertical format. But in this case, vertical is almost appropriate for the bridge. It looks like someone walks across the bridge to inspect it. It must be a low bridge because the boats that passed after it was raised again did not have sailing masts.

Update: Sean Kelleher posted five photos to a public group with the bridge in the open position.
