Keep a piece of Great Lakes railroad history close while your phone rests on display. Michigan Central Railroad connected Detroit with St. Joseph and extended west through Indiana toward the Chicago area, helping shape travel and freight across the region. Its history reaches from an 1832 charter to the Wolverine passenger trains and the automobile traffic that later moved along its routes. This foldable stand suits a desk, bedside table, or rail-history collection, and makes a useful present for someone who enjoys the story behind historic lines.
Michigan 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.
