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.

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.

According to NWRail they only go past Elmira once a week or every other week. Not once or twice a week.
PatC created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Don Simon no more they want AARR I'm chopped liver, well if you want AARR this is what I'll give ya, bad humor mixed with irrelevant info that'll make you roll your eyes quicker than a ~Z~ banhammer...
