Michigan & Great Lakes Railroad
The M&GLRR is a railroad that owns the line from Owosso to Muskegon, via St Johns, and the MMRR from Greenville to Lowell. It also has trackage rights to Moterm yard in Ferndale. It's main traffic is intermodal and agriculture. I would say that this is part of the organized paper railroads, but I would be taking the GR&E from Marquette Rail then.

Re: Michigan & Great Lakes Railroad
In Muskegon, ships take the containers off of the trains from Moterm yard and take them across the lake to Milwaukee where they are loaded onto trucks.

Re: Michigan & Great Lakes Railroad
There is a large port in Muskegon where the sand place(I can't remember what the place is called) is. That is where L100, L101, L102, and L103 originate/terminate. Cranes lift the containers off of the L100 and L101 onto some ships that will take them to Milwaukee to be loaded onto trucks, and there are ferries that carry train cars back and forth to Milwaukee also.

Slow down perhaps when creating new paper RRs....isn't it already busy enough around here?

Re: Michigan & Great Lakes Railroad
I know it isn't along the lake. This is the last paper railroad I plan on making for quite a while. Three is enough.

Re: Michigan & Great Lakes Railroad
The M&GL is in talks with a new lumber yard in St Johns for possible rail service.

Re: Michigan & Great Lakes Railroad
Up until around 1992 or 93 Central Michigan Lumber had a distribution yard in St. Johns that received 500-600 cars a year. The closed it and moved to Lansing. Its closing was a factor for CMGN to abandon everything west of Owosso.atrainguy60 wrote:The M&GL is in talks with a new lumber yard in St Johns for possible rail service.

Re: Michigan & Great Lakes Railroad
The M&GL has bought the section of track from Owosso-Durand from the GLC. The yard in Durand, which M&GL partly owns, will be sight of a new locomotive shop. Repairs, storing, and possible rebuilds will be done there. The shops will be located where the roundhouse used to be.
