Location: Grand Rapids, MI - Plaster Creek

Plaster Creek was an interlocked junction on the Pere Marquette main line in downtown Grand Rapids. It was staffed by the PM and the tower was closed on June 1, 1991. Plaster Creek was known by its telegraph call sign "JG".

This was likely at the location of the southwest wye connection with the PM line crossing the river to the west side. It may have also been a connection with the Pennsylvania (GR&I) line.
