Notes


Time Line

2007. The new Cory Yard, on the CN Flint Subdivision, is up and running. Outbound loads for Flat Rock and Battle Creek originate here. Due to heavy traffic generated by the GM plant, a new set of double crossovers is being installed halfway between the double track switch at Potterville and Cory Yard. This will allow better traffic flow as trains switching at Cory often block main #1 leading to frequent delays. [MRF-2007-06]
