Location: Lake Fairbanks (Goose) Lake Tank, MI

The C&NW had a pump house and water tank at the south entrance to Lake Fairbanks, later known as Goose Lake in 1917. There was no siding here but a pump house was located just southeast of the bridge over the river feeding the lake.


Notes

Two car bodies were used here for offices though one was removed in 1918. [CNWV]

Apparently this site was for water. No coal was available.
