12 Map: Amtrak Pontiac • Ever driven a Pontiac, this is where it may have came from, just north on Wide Track Drive.
Wait there is more. After hanging out in the rail yard it is time for dinner. We are now 10.5 miles south of Pontiac Station. Fish & Chip Dining, opened in 1950 & has always been at the same location. If you ever come to Detroit, check it out.

I photograph for the fun of rail-fanning & the joy of photography. • • Gary: Have a great weekend.
Man Gary. You live near all the cool stuff. I love fish and chips, but the closest place is 40 miles from me in Portage, MI. Last time I was there they screwed up my order so bad I haven't been back. I'm a retired chef so you know that chapped my hide.
