Picture of Michigan Central

[BankHouseDave]

Can anyone here help a poor publisher, visiting from the Soulful Detroit forum?

This picture appeared on this forum a while back, and I'm wondering if I can use it as part of a cover design. Does anyone know how far back it goes - ie, out of copyright - or who owns it?

Would appreciate the benefit of your knowledge.

Send the royalty money to me...

...and I won't tell on you!

[[Hey, isn't that how things work in this city?)

I like your style, Retroit. Would you be running for office at all? You should see our English politicians. I wish I could send them to you. I don't think your lot could be any worse.

I believe that picture is contained as one the pictures of the MCS in this paperback book that I bought at Barnes and Noble for my personal collection, since I worked at the MCS in the 70s.

It is in a storage rental since I moved, so I don't have access to the book right now, but if you go to a BN, and look for that book, it might have the name of the owner of the picture listed in the credits section.

Check with the author. She would know where she got the photo from .

She currently blogs here:

And works here. I'd contact her through Model D.

Hope this helps some.
