Location: McGrew Yard, MI (Flint)

McGrew Yard was the Pere Marquette's major yard in Flint in the 1900's, particularly after the auto industry was built up in the area. This yard was located north of Buick City.

McGrew Junction was the north connection of the PM Flint Belt Line which allowed PM to bypass downtown Flint.
