Crossings: Saginaw, MI - Water Street Crossings (PM / MC / MC / GTW)

East Saginaw had a Water Street industrial line which went along the east side of the Saginaw River from the Pere Marquette Main Line (to Ludington) south to at least Holland Avenue. This line had connections to the MC near Emerson Tower, as well as to the other lines at various locations. The purpose of the line was to serve riverfront industrial facilities, likely saw mills and salt blocks.

The line (on Tilden Street) crossed the GTW main line (near it's drawbridge) and the MC main line, between Emerson Street tower and the MC drawbridge. These were likely gate-protected crossings.
