My parents still have a bit of old history from this location. I'm not sure if this video poster knows it or not....but this exact location was the site of a derailment in the mid to late 60's. My parents still have an old silent 8mm movie of the wreck. I grew up in Dearborn and know this location very well.

A derailment ,wow! Is there anyway you could put the movie on the internet? That would be interesting to see. Ive always wondered what this area looked like when Penn Central and Conrail owned the tracks.

As a public safety message here. Always report malfunctioning railway signals to the rail operator, the local police and federal rail adminstration.

I remember anywhere along that route between Mason St west to the bridge at Outer Dr. was a perfect location to watch trains. There use to be a signal tower about a mile west of the Outer Dr. bridge...and at night if you didn't know the times of the trains...all ya had to do is sit along the tracks looking west until you saw the green signal...you then knew a train was coming either way within about 5 to 10 minutes.

That siding just to the west of Mason St. I'm talking about was on the left side...south side of the tracks. There also wasn't an Amtrak station in Dearborn down by the Library until about 79 or 80 I think...back in the 70's you had to travel all the way downtown to the old abandoned station in Detroit. If I remember right...there were two tracks all the way into Detroit and at least as far west as the Willow Run yard...might have even gone further...

Next time I'm home I'll see if she can dig through all the old movies. As for what that location looked like years ago. If you stand on the Mason St crossing and look to the west....all those condos on the left side of the tracks and on the right were not there. The right side all the way down to the Post Office was a huge parking lot . Looking west there was a siding right where the condos currently are. There also were 2 tracks along that route...they've since cut it down to one I see.
