Station: Poland, MI

Poland was a junction point on the Port Huron & Northwestern railroad (later PM, C&O, HESR) just north of Carsonville. The railroad had a branch line which left to the west to Sandusky from here.

Notes

There is a former 70' turntable bridge that was used to replace an ancient wooden structure over the Black River near Poland, Michigan.  T. J. Gaffney, former Curator of Collections at the Port Museum speculates that it came from the west side of the state, perhaps Manistee, Benton Harbor or Muskegon.
