Other Information:

The Grand Trunk Western roundhouse in Jackson, Michigan, in an aerial view from the 1930's.  The roundhouse has 8 stalls, but probably was home to only one or two locomotives, as this GTW branch line hosted only one mixed train for much of its 100 year history.  A GTW locomotive is about to receive coal from an adjacent clamshell crain.  The double track NYC Grand Rapids (and Saginaw) Branch is on the opposite side of the Grand River, in the upper right.  The GTW passenger station is just out of site near the bottom left of the photo.  [Victor Worden]
