Another Gravel Pit Failed Attempt
While we're on the subject of revamping gravel pits and such, IIRC, the old GTW line south from Imlay City remained in tact for several years after the abandonment of the entire line, due in part because some person or group of people tried to buy about 5 miles of this line to transport gravel from some pits located there south of Imlay. I can't recall the particulars as to why they weren't allowed to get the necessary permits. I do believe they had a purchase agreement made with GTW, but the NIMBIES as few as there were made damned sure this operation didn't get off the ground. Anyone else remember this?
