(A very similar if not identical version from the 1925 report is currently for sale on eBay.)
I'm hoping that those of you who've been in the Lansing area longer than I have (came here in '72 to attend MSU) can help me construct a list of plants/companies/industries served by the LMRR during its independent existence.
The obvious ones are:
- the site west of the tracks between Willow and Saginaw:
jet engine mfgr 1952-? (later Lansing Metal Center, ?-2006)
- the site west of the tracks between Saginaw and West Michigan: a GM foundry beginning in 1919 (much later the Craft Centre)
- the site east of the tracks between Saginaw and West Michigan: Durant Motors 1920-1931, later the Verlinden GM plant (Fisher Body/BOC/Lansing Car Assembly Plant 6 1935-2006)
- the site at the end of the right of way, with the pigtail under Logan/MLK and terminating inside the plant: Olds Motor Works 1902-1908, GM/LCA Plant 1 to 2005
It's not clear to me whether there was a connection to the Grand Trunk main, though I think I see one now. (Does anyone know the name of the little nine-lead yard along Olds Avenue?)
Anyway, there are a few other sites which could have been customers. All the lots on the east side of Sunset and the west side of Comfort back up to the tracks, and the aerial photos seem to show multiple spurs coming off the main toward Sunset (Moseley's?).
