Location: Port Huron, MI - PM Court Street Yard

The Pere Marquette Court Street Yard was located near their depot, alongside and parallel to the St. Clair River in downtown Port Huron. The yard was reached by the PM's north-south line which crossed the Black River on a bascule bridge. On the south end of the yard was a connection with the PM line to Tappan and Marlene, which operated south of the Grand Trunk.


Notes


Time Line

1909. The PM and the Grand Trunk Western reached an agreement in 1909 allowing the PM to use the GTW depot and their new tunnel to Canada. That agreement also allowed the GTW to access PM's Court Street Yard. The initial agreement was for four years, but was automatically extended with a one year termination notice. The PM agreed to share costs of the depot.
