Location: Grand Rapids, MI - C&WM Roundhouse

C&WM Roundhouse Grand RapidsThe Chicago & West Michigan (predecessor to the Pere Marquette) had an eight stall roundhouse at Prescott and Hilton on the east side of the river in Grand Rapids. As would be expected there was also a nearby water tower. This location was southwest of Grand Rapids Union Station. This roundhouse was removed after the PM merger, moving to Wyoming Yard and the property used for a wye track which supported the connection to the DL&:N merger.
