Notes

Time Line

1925. Plans for the acquisition from he M&NE of more than 2¼ miles of track lying between Grayling and the Michigan Central spur to Camp Grayling were under consideration here at a conference of state officials and the attorney for the railroad interests. The action was deemed necessary following an order by M&NE receivers that the line from Kaleva Junction to Grayling is being abandoned. The M&NE has been in receivership for nearly five years. The state may lease the road for a number of years or buy it outright, applying the purchase price on taxes unpaid by the railroad, the balance of which is about $25,000.  The state last summer spent considerable money repairing this road and the railroad bridge over the AuSable.
