Grand Haven Spur across US 31
So what's the story with the rails buried in the pavement across US 31 by the Applebees in Grand Haven? Never noticed them until recently when they were paved over going into the Applebees parking lot. I'm safe to assume this hasn't seen a movement in probably 40 years? What was served on this line and do photos exist?

The run around track area in Grand Haven looked so much different back then.
