{"product_id":"michigan-central-railroad-ceramic-ornament","title":"Michigan Central Railroad Ceramic Ornament","description":"GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdd a little railroad history to seasonal decorating or a collection of transportation keepsakes. Michigan Central Railroad grew from an 1832 charter into a route connecting Detroit, communities along the Great Lakes, and the Chicago area. Its passenger service, including the Wolverine, and its role in moving timber and automobile-related freight reflect generations of regional change. This ornament is a meaningful choice for railroad collectors and anyone with a connection to Michigan’s rail heritage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMichigan Central Railroad was chartered in 1832 to establish rail service between Detroit and St. Joseph, Michigan. Its predecessor, the Detroit and St. Joseph Railroad, began construction in Detroit in 1836. After state ownership and financial difficulties, the railroad was sold in 1846 to the newly incorporated Michigan Central corporation. The line reached Lake Michigan in 1849 and was extended through Indiana to the Chicago area by 1852. The railroad later operated in Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, and Ontario. From about 1867 it was controlled by the New York Central Railroad. Its passenger trains included the Wolverine, and its routes carried timber, automobiles, and auto-related freight. New York Central became part of Penn Central in 1968, followed by Conrail. In 1995, Michigan Central was merged into United Railroad Corp., a Penn Central subsidiary. After the 1998 Conrail breakup, Norfolk Southern owned much of the former Michigan Central trackage. Amtrak continues to use portions of the former route between Chicago and Detroit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; font-weight: 500;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eHeart\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; font-weight: 500;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eRound\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eDiameter, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e3.21\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e2.80\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduct features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- 100% white ceramic construction — strong and durable\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Double-sided print with matte finish option\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Golden hanging string included\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- UV-decorated for lasting color\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Available in white or gold gift packaging (single ornament per pack)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Use a microfiber cloth to gently remove any dust or dirt build-up.
