"You will note in the rear of the finished bridge that this project was in a developed town or city, see the large building up and through the trees. The Bridge and Building Department, or often abbreviated on rail equipment B&B, was the part of the railroad responsible for maintaining structures for the railroad and sometimes building structures if not too complex. For example, building or major upkeep to a bridge, painting a bridge, building a simpler depot or scale house. They would be based out of the major facilities for a railroad (so for the Pere Marquette: Saginaw, Grand Rapids, Port Huron, Detroit, New Buffalo) but would spend the construction season wherever their project was. This is why you usually see boarding cars (ex-passenger cars for example) as part of the consist for their work train, so the workers have a place to stay. In the off season the cars would be brought back to the location of the major facilities." If Michigan: The history of railroading in Michigan began in 1830, seven years before the territory became a state, with the chartering of the Pontiac and Detroit Railway…and the rest of the story as they say reflects our Michigan Railroading History and Heritage!
