1. It appears the roundhouse was in the area right across where the current fairgrounds are. Is that correct?
2. We know the PM and GT tracks were side by side. Did the PM tracks go in front of the GT depot or in back?
3. Where's the PM depot in this map? I seem recall the PM depot burned down in the 1930s?
Always love photos and discussion about Greenville, Ionia, Portland, Lyons.
The roundhouse and shops would have been NE of the Fairgrounds a bit at the corner of Railroad Street & S. Jackson Street
Both depots PM & GT also appear on that map to have been next to each other on the left side of the map
I am confused. I see no Jackson St. but I do see a Jefferson St. Is that what you mean't Michael?
Which one of the buildings is the one that is supposedly left standing? And where did the line go that goes to the bottom left (SW corner) of the map?
