| GR&I was a Pennsy subsidiary that ran from Richmond, Indiana up through Fort Wayne to Grand Rapids, and eventually to the Strait of Mackinac. It had a seasonal passenger traffic flow, as people would vacation in the northern part of Michigans lower peninsula. Now its mostly abandoned, and a bike/snowmobile trail. See the photo in this album of the bridge and trail from Stanwood Mich. This was Decaturs other station, the main one being the now gone Erie station, which was on their Jersey City-Chicago main, a line now long gone, though a small portion of it still exists here as a switching lead. |
