Huron & Eastern Overview
Huron and Eastern Railway is a short line railroad operating 394 miles of track in The Thumb and Flint/Tri-Cities area of the lower peninsula of Michigan. It is currently owned by Genesee & Wyoming, Inc., who purchased it from RailAmerica in 2012. The railroad is headquartered in the former Michigan Central Railroad depot in Vassar.
Huron and Eastern's locomotive power is a mix of former Central Michigan, Saginaw Valley, and original HESR rolling stock.
The railway's main line extends northeast from Saginaw to Bad Axe, and then southeast to Croswell.
HESR's other line extends from Midland east to Bay City, and then south, through Saginaw to Durand. The line was former Central Michigan Railroad and Grand Trunk Western Railroad track.
The railroad's traffic comes largely from agricultural products, as well as industrial goods, such as cement, fly ash, and chemicals. The HESR hauled around 34,000 carloads in 2008.
