- On my recent trip to Wyoming Yard in Grand Rapids, MI, I noticed
- a couple of things missing.
-
- There was a crane standing by a blank area of dirt where Plaster Creek
- tower stood only days before. Also, the powerhouse and storehouse were
- gone. All that was left of the powerhouse was the chimney, which was
- supposed to be blown up, but wasn't because of the underground gas lines
- in the area.
- Plaster Creek tower was no longer in service as of May 13, 1992. Mother's
- Day was it's last day of operation. I'm not sure when the powerhouse and
- the storehouse were closed down.
