Flat Rock Yard map

[mike nowakowski]

Does anyone have a link to a detailed map of Flat Rock Yard and Battle Creek Yard.

I don't have a map of Flat Rock but I have this one of Battle Creek. Not for sure what year it was drawn
I've had it since the late 70's or early 80's
There has got to be a very detailed map out there somewhere of both yards

Flat Rock is still in use. Battle Creek is dormant. Also, IIRC, the track around Battle Creek is single tracked since late 1970's.

Don,

Your quote above: "the track around Battle Creek is single tracked since late 1970's" I don't understand.

The CN Main is double track from just East of the Diamonds in Schoolcraft, through Battle Creek and East to about Olivet. Then single track from Olivet to somewhere East of Pottervile, then back to double track East of there through Lansing.

I have a photo that shows the main track (at the top of the drawing) that runs around the yard is single tracked. I believe the photo is from the late 1970's. I'll try to look it up later to confirm.

There was a single main track from Emmett St to the east end when it was built in 63 or so. The second main track was added later.

I got it backwards, then

Here are two maps showing some before and more after at Battle Creek. I couldn't get the program to stitch them together

Wow, all that for $4,750,000.00 It would certainly cost a hell of a lot more these days.

Sad that such an impressive yard is dormant.

If you look at some newer maps of the Battle Creek yard, You see that the FLINT SUB and the SOUTH BEND SUB meet center of the "Proposed "Fuel Dock. Mile Post 179. Funny, That came and went. Now it's the Former Fuel Dock.
