Grand Trunk Western Bridge Approach Signal
This signal for many years guarded the east-end approach to the Grand Trunk Western Swing Bridge over the entrance to the Spring Lake channel.
This electrified signal with its colored lights indicated to the engineer of the train whether the bridge was open to water traffic or closed and lined up for railroad and was safe to bring the train across the bridge.
The tracks and swing bridge were removed in 1970's.
The signal was donated by the Village of Spring Lake to the City of Grand Haven in 1981.
Marker is on Jackson Street near North Second Street.
