Lake State paint color

Re: Detroit & Mackinac

Thanks for that info. Was the line from Gaylord to Cheboygan the same sub as the Mackinac? And anyone else know about the line from Cheboygan to Mackinac City?

Detroit & Mackinac

I'm sure someone on here can answer this question for me. What were the names of the subdivisions on the Detroit & Mackinac? Wasn't one called the Mackinac sub?
And are they the same now with Lake State as they were with the D & M?
Thanks

I have searched thru this site but just can't seem to find the info I'm looking for. I thought there was a topic on here that already discussed t...
