GTW Caboose in Lansing

Unread post by NS3322 »

What happened to the GTW transfer caboose that was at Lansing Board of Water and Light plant in Delta Township? On Google Streetview it is not on display at the end of the spur track.

A couple years ago one of their crews tried to shove it through the bumper post. I don't remember seeing any notable damage to it but it was off the rail for a bit. After they put it back on the tracks it was moved back into the plant somewhere. For a while it was by the dumper shed but haven't noticed it lately. Next time I'm up that way I'll take a look if someone else hasn't confirmed it yet.

I didn't see it up by the dumper building while I was up there today but I can't see farther back into the property in the dark.

So it is not by Millet Hwy and S. Canal Rd?

It is still on the premises but it has been moved away from the public eye
