Like many other states which had lumbering operations, Michigan had many
narrow gauge railroads. Most of these narrow gauge routes were
temporary - with the track laid for only a year or two until the forest
was clear cut. Others were main branch lines of timber routes, which
collected timber from these temporary lines and brought them to the mill
or to a river to be floated to the mill. A few other narrow gauge
roads were built that way on purpose, and not particularly for
logging.
Join us as we take an in-depth look at narrow gauge railroads in the State of Michigan.
