Battle Creek (Diamond)
Battle Creek's "Diamond" is where Canadian National's ex-Grand Trunk Western main line (Port Huron–Chicago) crosses the Michigan Line (ex-Michigan Central, now Amtrak/Norfolk Southern). This junction sees roughly 25 CN freights, 8 Amtrak passenger trains, and several NS local moves daily. The Amtrak station is steps away, and the Kellogg Company's cereal plants provide steady rail-served industry. Virtual Railfan installed Michigan's first live railcam here in 2025.
Durand - Diamond & Depot
Historic 1903 Durand Union Station sits at the diamond where CN's Flint and Holly Subdivisions cross. Home to the Michigan Railroad History Museum, this junction sees 20-25 trains daily from CN, Huron & Eastern, Great Lakes Central, and Amtrak Blue Water.
