Location: Petoskey, MI - Pere Marquette Facilities

Petoskey was served by two railroads, the Grand Rapids & Indiana and the Pere Marquette. The PM terminates just a few miles north of here at Bay View, and Petoskey was a terminal for the PM. The turntable shown at the left was removed and reinstalled at Greenfield Village, at the Henry Ford in Dearborn.
