is the grade crossing in the first photo just before the beginning of the S curve on Sandwich I think there was or is an OLCO gas station on the west side of the road just past that I think PYRAMID built house trailers in a plant near the salt plant,i'm just trying to get my bearings it's a dam shame all this old history that made up Windsor and it's all gone so sad when you look at Windsor today
any idea what that building on Sandwich street would be salt mine admin maybe??
