Boyne Falls

I might be on the way up there is there any regular activity up there RR wise? Google map indicates what looks like a wye and two long stub tracks do they still exist and or see any use?

Stitch,

Just a small run-around siding left there now, once was interchange with Boyne City Railroad. Only activity is passing of the freight to Petoskey once or twice a week. Once in a rare moon they'll spot cars on the siding, I've seen tank cars of weed-control? unloaded there years ago, plus landscaping stone. MOW cars show up on occasion too.

Maybe other activity, I've missed...?

This is where the Polishfest trains use to run to durning the summer.

Kelly, does the GLC still go up to Petosky and through Fife Lake (They are seperate lines I think)?

[KC]

Yes, their line from Cadillac to Petoskey passes through Manton, Walton Junction, Fife Lake, South Boardman, Kalkaska, Antrim, Mancelona, Alba, Elmira, Boyne Falls then Petoskey.
At Walton Junction the line splits on a wye, with trackage going to Summit City, Kingsley, Traverse City where there is line out to Grawn and another to Bates/Williamsburg.

Thanks Kelly.

[Stitch]

I second the thanks for the info.

According to NWRail they only go past Elmira once a week or every other week. Not once or twice a week.

up and back, wouldn't that be twice?
