Make space for notes, plans or railway research with this Detroit, Grand Haven and Milwaukee Railway spiral notebook. The company’s 189-mile Michigan route connected Detroit with Grand Haven, while a Grand Rapids station served the Plainfield and East Leonard area. Its reorganization in 1878 and consolidation into Grand Trunk Western in 1928 trace the changing fortunes of a regional line. A fitting everyday companion for rail-history readers, collectors, students and anyone curious about Michigan’s early railroad development.
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.
