The Grand Trunk
Western depot in Imlay City, Michigan. This depot was
constructed in 1928 [RRSHS] and is now a historical museum. This
photo was taken in August, 1975 by Charlie Whipp. Below, an

Above, this is the
right-of-way for the Pontiac, Oxford and Northern Railway which was
built from Pontiac to Caseville through Imlay City in 1870.
Rather than pay on a long term basis for their share of a manned
interlocking tower, the PO&N (later GTW) crossed the GTW below grade.
(The GTW was built through Imlay City 13 years earlier). This
view, looking south, shows the original girder overhead bridge for the
GTW (now CN) main line. Farther south is a new overpass for a CN
industrial lead to the Vlasis Corporation, which was built sometime
after the PO&N was abandoned in the mid-1980's. Photos taken in
2003 [Dale Berry] Below, GTW passenger train 11-19,
travels under the Summers Road overpass at milepost 300 on the Flint
Subdivision. This photo was taken before 1914, the year that
the bridge was replaced. Summers Road is about 1 mile west of
Imlay City. [Charlie Whipp Collection] |
