These are dated 1960 but some might be a bit earlier. It shows the ROW going over to Giddings, hard to know if there were still tracks on it then. There were for sure tracks to Calvin and still were until at least 1980 as I recall. C&O parked bunk cars down there between Fuller and Calvin at one time. There is a brick building on the Grande Brick property at the end of Silver Creek that I think might still exist as a church. There were two spectacular fires at Standard Lumber. I think the buildings on the east side of Kalamazoo just south of the tracks went up about 1980. One of their signature brick buildings went up later, the other survives. http://www.historicmapworks.com/Map/US/67145/Page+6+++11+++5+++Paris+Township+++Grand+Rapids++Sec++5+++Aerial+Index+Map/Kent+County+1960+Vol+1+Grand+Rapids/Michigan/
