| Michigan Railroad History Conference posted A view of the New York Central roundhouse in the Wenona Yard at Bay City. This is in the twilight of steam on the former Michigan Central in June 1953. This scene was recorded by Fred Steck with Mikado #1350 and four other locomotives present. A potion of this roundhouse still stands today and is used by a metal fabricator. Daniel C Carroll Jr. shared |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Daniel's share You can also see the remnants of some stalls for a roundhouse that was in the town. https://www.google.com/maps/@43.609119,-83.8940921,177m/data=!3m1!1e3?hl=en&entry=ttu 1916 Bay City Quad @ 62,500 |
When capturing the stall remnants, I included the MoW equipment. It is good to see evidence of a shortline doing trackwork.

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Jim's share [AR1VDI000110153] The roads have changed a lot since this 1954 aerial photo was taken. That is why I included the Johnson and 3rd Street Bridges to help correlate the aerial with today's satellite images. The depot was north of First Street and between Monroe & Van Buren Streets. Jim Kelling: Dennis DeBruler thanks I had trouble finding it on Google earth |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Jim's share The building on the left side of the postcard is extant, https://maps.app.goo.gl/De2ZJNYbsjbuo72P8. Jim Kelling: Dennis DeBruler probably used for freight or Railway Express Agency |
