Station: Monroe, MI - Warner Yard

Warner Yard was the Michigan Central's main yard in the City of Monroe. It is located on the former Lake Shore & Michigan Southern (southbound) main line north of Raisin River bridge. The double main track is split at this point and most of this yard is on the southbound side. But there is also a unique loop track and a long crossover which allowed movement between Warner and both directions.
