Well the route designation does not have an "I" in front of it, so technically no I guess. But it is a four lane limited access highway that runs for many miles.

US-31 over MQT near Ludington.

Are there still, technically, two railroads in Lowell? The ex-GTW is Grand Rapids Eastern and the former C&O was Mid-Michigan. Since there is still about a mile or so of C&O remaining in Lowell to serve King Milling does Mid-Michigan still exist in Lowell or has that short section been absorbed by ...

Fergus Rd., between Chesaning and St. Charles.

I wonder if this in turn will affect the GDLK schedule?

Where exactly is it?

Dequindre Cut?

GLC hit a pickup truck this morning near Kingsley:

Word on the street is that he filed a quitclaim deed and built his house there. It was Ionia county and they have no zoning or land use planning (or due diligence at the court house) so no one objected to the quit claim and he built his house. Shouldn't have happened but it did. At least that's how...

This crossing served a major Mid-Michigan industry and was removed about 35 years ago. http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll93/pbmaxno15/Screenshot%202016-03-24%20at%205.40.29%20PM_zpssiq0z4pd.png http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll93/pbmaxno15/15c37e15-3d52-4418-9179-e2ff5d2672e9_zpsywamzigc.png...

MMRR owns the line from Elmdale to Lowell, except one parcel near Elmdale where a house was built. North of Foreman St. in Lowell was sold to the DNR.

Shouldn't take long for this one I bet. If your username looks like this... (J_T, jwyrick, Saturnalia, SD80MAC, ~Z~, Raildudes Dad) try to let someone else get it cause this will probably be a no brainer for you. Was this the line to Lowell? Sorta... I'm looking in the opposite direction from Lowel...

Munising Junction

It seems that when the railroad companies merge, they don't bother changing the name on all their properties. Around Grand Rapids, all the CSX lines are still listed as "CHESAPEAKE & OHIO RY". Hughart yard is listed as "PENNDEL COMPANY", but actually is owned by NS and leased to GDLK. Other NS owned...

The location is listed on the page as: "Mehring Way just west of downtown Cincinnati"

I think the line was originally built by Michigan Central RR.

Bay City. It appears to be connected to the LSRC line (ex-C&O), not the MC which was east of M-15.

It's not Omer, Hillman, Belding, Dowagiac, or Millersburg.
