GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Wear a piece of Michigan rail history with a heavy knit quarter-zip sweatshirt inspired by the Detroit, Grand Haven and Milwaukee Railway. Reorganized in 1878, the company carried forward a line with roots in the Detroit and Pontiac Railroad and the Detroit and Milwaukee Railroad. Its 189-mile route linked Detroit to Grand Haven, with a Grand Rapids station at Plainfield and East Leonard. The railway’s eventual consolidation into Grand Trunk Western in 1928 marks a notable shift in Great Lakes railroad ownership. Made for rail fans and history-minded collections.
The Detroit, Grand Haven and Milwaukee Railway was a Michigan railroad formed in 1878 after the Detroit and Milwaukee Railroad entered receivership in 1875. The earlier Detroit and Milwaukee was a successor to the Detroit and Pontiac Railroad, among the first railroads organized in Michigan. The Great Western Railway of Canada had gained financial control of the Detroit and Milwaukee in 1860 after it defaulted on debt payments. In 1878, Great Western purchased the railroad outright and refinanced its debts; the reorganized company took the name Detroit, Grand Haven and Milwaukee Railway. Its 189-mile line ran from Detroit to Grand Haven on Lake Michigan’s eastern shore, with a Grand Rapids station at Plainfield and East Leonard. The Grand Trunk Railway of Canada acquired Great Western in 1882, bringing the railway under its ownership, though formal consolidation waited until 1928. That year, the company became part of the Grand Trunk Western Railroad, marking its transition from a separately named regional railway into a larger railroad system.
