Image Info: Top, a view looking west at the Plymouth crossing. A westbound train has a clear signal to proceed west across the diamond. Note the locomotive pulling in the background leaving the wye from Toledo to head west on the passing siding to Lansing and Grand Rapids. Also this shows the old crossing station prior to building a new concrete and brick facility on the southwest quadrant of the wye. This is a 1948 view.
