THE OPEN RECORD, NOVEMBER 2026
GAP-T1 — the depot's end. The Granger union depot's closing as an agency, and the building's removal or demolition, with dates: unreached in this section's record. Settler: the Grand Trunk Western's station and agency records (CN/Grand Trunk archives), the ICC valuation dockets for the South Bend Subdivision, and the South Bend Tribune morgue; the Hoosier Valley Railroad Museum's Granger photo file is the standing visual record.
GAP-T2 — the last Granger stop. The final timetable year in which Grand Trunk Western public timetables carry Granger as a passenger stop, and the agency's closing date as distinct from the train-order office's (already closed by April 1932 on the ICC's record). Settler: the run of GTW public timetables, 1925–1960, and the Official Guide station lists.
GAP-T3 — the agents. No Granger station agent, of either railroad, is named in any record this section reached. Settler: GTW and CCC&StL seniority and agency rosters; the Official Guide's agency listings; census occupation lines for the village, worked through this build's People record classes.
GAP-T4 — the branch's south end. The builder and opening date of the Big Four's Granger–South Bend segment (the Elkhart, Niles and Lake Michigan's 1882 build is documented Niles–Granger; the South Bend continuation's corporate author is not fixed in the record reached). Settler: Meints, Indiana Railroad Lines; the Cincinnati, Wabash and Michigan's annual reports; ICC finance dockets.
GAP-T5 — the last branch passenger train. The exact date passenger service ended between South Bend and Niles (the Niles–Benton Harbor end is documented "early 1930s"). Settler: New York Central public timetables, 1928–1935, and the Tribune's service notices.
GAP-T6 — the corridor's staged widening. State Road 23's widening through the frame, project by project (the two-lane road of 1941 to the present multi-lane corridor). Settler: INDOT project archives and letting records; the South Bend Tribune morgue.
GAP-T7 — the trail's surveyed course. The Old Chicago Trail's course through Harris Township at survey strength (the Adams Road stage stop stands on the township history's authority). Settler: St. Joseph County commissioners' road records and viewers' reports; the Goff history's manuscript sources (Mishawaka-Penn-Harris Public Library, Harris Branch, Granger file).
GAP-T8 — the crossing ledger entire. The Federal Railroad Administration's crossing-by-crossing inventory for the frame (crossing numbers, protection, and the recorded casualty history at each), beyond the road-grid count this section prints. Settler: the FRA Office of Safety crossing database, St. Joseph County, CN South Bend Subdivision.
GAP-T9 — the north–south namesakes' instrument. The naming record for Harris Township's fruit-and-tree north–south roads (the layer is printed as a pattern; no naming instrument was reached). Settler: Harris Township trustee minutes and the county commissioners' road-naming record; the Granger file at the Harris Branch library.
