Re: Sidings on MC between Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti
This would be about mp 32 with the east bridge at 31.71 and the west one at mp 32.46. Meints says the original MC Main was entirely south of the Huron River until a 1848 line relocation. He also shows a Shanghai Pit at mp 31.8 which would tend to support Matt’s fill for Livernois theory. The Stark Strasse road to the north of the 31.71 bridge was a wood trestle in the 70s although the current satellite view shows a modern concrete one. I was told Tom Ford of Ford Motors built an estate on the peninsula using it for access.
