Station: BCG&A Junction, MI

When the Boyne City, Gaylord & Alpena came to Alpena around 1917, they crossed the D&M's North Division about 1/4 mile north of the north wye switch at Alpena Junction, a place called BCG&A Junction.  The Boyne City line then crossed the D&M's spur to the Huron Portland Cement Plant about midway in what was later to be the D&M Alpena Yard and then curved around into the old downtown near Fletcher Paper.


Notes

This was not an interlocked crossing and it may have been put in as early as 1912.
