Station: Elmira Overpass, MI

BCGA Overpass Elmira MIAs the newly named Boyne City, Gaylord and Alpena Railroad extended east towards Gaylord, they built an overpass with concrete abutments over the Grand Rapids & Indiana railroad two miles north of Elmira.

To accomplish this, a trestle was built over the line, concrete abutments were built, the trestle was filled in and a final bridge was built over the GR&I line.
