| Description: | In 1891 the PD&E set up a resort area to the west of the tracks on the north bank of the Mackinaw River. Four years later, a similar resort area was set up on the southern part of the line at Edgewater. Both resorts were abandoned by the IC in 1903. However, servicing facilities for the locomotives hung on here for another 5 years. |
