Drawbridge: Saginaw River Drawbridge, Saginaw, MI - (GTW)

The Grand Trunk Western Saginaw River drawbridge was located just north of the Michigan Central drawbridge in downtown Saginaw. Use of this bridge was discontinued around 1940 and the bridge was removed. 


Notes

After that point, the GTW used MC trackage rights over the MC drawbridge to reach West Saginaw and Bay City via Mershon. They also began using the MC Genesee Avenue station rather than their own on the east side of the river.
