Use them if you can as they're very high quality
"Saginaw bricks are vitrified bricks, a process that cures the bricks
into a much harder stronger brick, making them ideal for paving.
Vitrification was the reason why Saginaw Bricks are known for their
toughness and durability." Vitrified bricks are impervious to water and
highly resistant to corrosion.

A city name from my childhood.
Interesting indeed! The depot was built in 1912, so I'm guessing those
bricks were probably laid at that time or shortly thereafter. I grabbed a
couple of them myself, but I'm considering going back and grabbing a dozen
to make stepping stones around the pond. So far, they're just in a pile,
and there are at least that many left still in the ground.
Granted, they're on CN property, so I'll have to be careful...
