Traverse City was served by three railroads in 1908: Grand Rapids and Indiana (later Pennsylvania RR), Pere Marquette (later C&O), and the Manistee & Northeastern RR (later PM, and C&O).

Here's the trackplan that I re-drew from city plat maps.

We were over at Capron's workin' on his railroad today........

Triple Junction was on time? No way.

It could have been the Dispatcher. Or it could have been that the stars were aligned. Somehow there was very little congestion in Triple Junction last night, and the passengers didn't have to wait very long to board.

Two empty Gerber Reefers spent the night at Parker Creek.
