Harger location?

Back in the day, the TSBY interchanged with CSX at a siding at "Harger" near Saginaw. I see a Harger trail that I assume is the former TSBY line, but am not sure exactly where the siding was located.

Harger is 9.6 miles from Richville Jct. That seems to place it between N. Gera and N. Dehmel Roads.
Harger was the interchange with GTW, not CSX.
It looks like they stopped using it between 2004-2006 when RA combined its CMGN and HESR operations and used trackage rights on CSX through Saginaw to their Genesee Yard. That was about the time I75 was widened and the branch was separated and Richville to Buena Vista abandoned.

Thanks. I'd forgotten that the GT went over there. It would have been CMGN by 1990 when I was there.

I have seen one video of HESR going to Harger to set out cars. Coincidentally it was around 1990. I came across it by accident and am not sure I could find it again.
