Notes

In 1925, the Bagley Branch had one second class mixed train (actually a round trip) which began at Gaylord, leaving Salling Junction at 7:16 am and arriving at Johannesburg at 7:55 am. It turned around and left Johannesburg at 10:45 am arriving back at Salling at 11:30 am before heading north to Gaylord. In 1925, the train ran only on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and stopped only at Johannesburg unless it was flag-stopped at Trombley or Johannesburg Junction.

Time Line

1931. The Michigan Public Service Commission authorizes the NYC/MC to remove and abandon the Johannesburg Branch from Sallings Junction to Johannesburg, a distance of 15 miles all in Otsego County, together with such spurs and sidings as may be connected. The petition has also been filed with the ICC. The Johannesburg Manufacturing Company has no further use for the MC tracks mentioned and has no objection. The timber has all been cut and removed and the company's sawmill has discontinued operations. [MPSC-1931-p24]
