Drawbridge: Saginaw River Drawbridge, Saginaw, MI - (GTW)
The Grand Trunk Western Saginaw River drawbridge was located just north of the Michigan Central drawbridge in downtown Saginaw. Use of this bridge was discontinued around 1940 and the bridge was removed. After that point, the GTW used MC trackage rights over the MC drawbridge to reach West Saginaw and Bay City via Mershon.
