Location: Kawkawlin River Drawbridge, Kawkawlin, MI -
(MC)
This draw bridge is referenced in a 1870's Michigan Central timetable, used on their newly established Mackinaw Branch. Visiting this site today, it is hard to imagine a drawbridge here, but one must keep in mind that logging was active and the river was likely used to bring log or boat traffic to Saginaw Bay during this era.
