CSX Isolated Port Huron and Detroit Branch
Posted by CandOforprogress2 on Monday, April 24, 2017 2:50 PM

Starts in the Grand Trunk yard near the PH&D Clubhouse heads 6 miles to St Clair Morton Salt Mine and now defuct power plant. Does not connect to any other CSX line. CSX Pere Marquette used to head north from here but is now a bike trail for last 15 years.

They also still have (I think) a small operation across the river in Sarnia, Ontario.

They do. CSX, has a branch from Sarnia, ON to Sombra, ON. CN handles traffic for CSX, between Port Huron-Sarnia via haulage rights.

The Morton Salt Plant was in Marysville, MI. It has been closed for decades and the site is now condos. The plant in St Clair is Cargill's Diamond Crystal Plant. The route ends at DTE's Belle River Station in East China, Twp.

Rahhhhhhhhh!!!!
