The Grand
Trunk Western Holly Subdivision dispatcher was located in the
2nd floor of the Durand depot until 1972. This CTC
(Centralized Traffic Control) "machine" was installed in 1951
and eliminated many of the station operator jobs west of Pontiac
to Pitt, near Durand. The machine was a Union Switch and
Signal product. The stations and sidings controlled by
this unit were West Pontiac, Andersonville, Holly, Linden,
Gaines, and East Durand (now called Pitt). [Photo: Doug
