This Series of caches will follow the former track bed of the G.R. G.H. & M. Electric Railway with stops at former depots and other remnants of this important and short lived part of West Michigan history.
 

Walker

Walker had a station on the GRGH&M. The station here probably served both as a substation for converting A/C to D/C and a passenger station. It is very similar to the station in Coopersville and was the standard design for stations along this line.
