GTW PH&D Super Route

GTW PH&D Super Route

Michigan Trainz Routes presents the Grand Trunk Western Flint Subdivision; Flint to Port Huron 1980s.

This route covers from Belsay Yard to Port Huron. This route is to scale with 98% accuracy in the detail, track arrangements, and lineside industry. Some creative license has been used here and there and the long S curve into West Tappan is not accurate, but necessary so I did not have to recreate Tunnel Yard and Port Huron from scratch.

This line does include the operations of the former Michigan Central (NYC) Bay City Branch. This line is a north / south route from Metamora to north of Lapeer, MI which interchanges with the GTW. The line has a few industry to switch.

On the C&O side, there is the trackage rights coal trains that plowed from McGrew Yard to the PH&D. This continues today with CSX.

GTW has a small yard on the east side of Flint called Belsay Yard. This yard is not gone and was the main yard before Torrey Yard (not in this route) was built on the west side of Flint to handle the increased automotive traffic.

GTW towns on the line with industry from west to east are:

Flint, Belsay, Davison, Lapeer, Imlay City, Capac, Emmett, Goodells, & Port Huron.

PH&D Tappan Yard is in this route as well as the C&O Port Huron & Bad Axe Subs. The former Pere Marquette Boat yard is where the C&O made up their trains to go north and west out of Port Huron. The Almont Branch is no longer in this version.

You will need Pofig's Trees, East Coast Trains switch stands and other assets found now on the Erecting Hall Website, JR's content for their Midwest Grain Route, and GFisher's Content, and much more. Please do google searches for Missing KUIDs, or goto my forum page for the Flint Sub.

So grab your throttle and notch up to Run 8 and head to Port Huron on the GTW Flint Sub.
