DETROIT MI
RAILFAN GUIDE
Tucked away on the northwest side of Detroit is this ex Grand Trunk yard.
The map is condensed between 696 and the top. I wasn't planning on a visit, but on the weekend preceding the Owosso Train Festival, they had a truck fire on 75 which closed it to traffic, and this yard was on the detour!
