Ann Arbor Ave.

[Mott]

I did not know that spur was built that recent. When did it go out of service, was it when the Rock Island shut down?? I wish the old rr right of ways were kept for future use as walking/biking trails.

The Rock quit in 1980, don’t know when the last service on this line was. There were a number of industries served next to 39th, just east of Ann Arbor. If you look at Google maps, you can still follow the line as a green path down to the main line ( now the UP RR) around 4th, between Ann Arbor and Meridian.
