Michigan Railroads and Railroad Companies is an invaluable reference manual for everyone interested in regional transportation history, the history of railroading, and Michigan history in general. It contains complete, cross-referenced listings for every company formed to operate a railroad in the state of Michigan. In addition to the comprehensive entries for major lines, Graydon Meints has included details about the many small, common-carrier steam and electric companies, logging roads, and numerous other primitive and contemporary rail systems. This encyclopedic reference guide also contains information on the so-called "paper railroads," companies that were projected but which never laid a foot of track. Michigan Railroads is divided into three parts. One includes alphabetical entries for the actual and intended railroad companies themselves, the date and purpose for their organization, and a brief history from their origins to their dispositions. Included in this portion of the work are a number of railroad "family trees" showing the corporate antecedents of the largest of the rail lines operating in the state today. Another contains a chronology of significant corporate events; it works as a useful finding aid for accessing source data contained in the first section. A third contains a statewide county-by-county listing of railroads, both paper and real.

"This compilation provides access to much of the documentary legacy remaining from the railroad companies. By identifying what exists and where it can be found, Barnett's book will open doors to information about these transportation lines in Michigan. The sources revealed ... provide abundant evidence on the operations of railroads, describe the areas served by them, and show how such firms helped to develop the Great Lakes State."--Introduction p. xvi.

In this thoroughly researched history, Graydon Meints tells the fascinating story of the railroad's arrival and development in Michigan. The railroad would come to play a role in almost every critical event in Michigan's nineteenth- and early twentieth-century history, before beginning to wane following the arrival of the automobile. Looking ahead to the future of the railroad in the Great Lakes region, Meints assesses the strengths and shortcomings of this revolutionary invention.

Eighty years ago the Michigan Railroad Commission published a book detailing the construction of the state's railroads to that time. Meints has now compiled the sequel to the 1919 edition, including the development, ownership, and mileage of the state's rail system. Michigan Railroad Lines covers each of Michigan's "steam" and electric railroads, detailing every main and branch line of every railroad corporation that operated in the state by giving the stations and mileage of each. This detail also includes a list of the owners of each line. A chronology of the construction and abandonment of each line is included along with the changes in its mileage. For each railroad company there is a summary of all of the construction and abandonment and changes of mileage throughout its corporate life. The mileage of each company is brought together in a year-by-year table of railroad mileage in the state. A set of maps for each county in the state as well as several more detailed city maps show the extent of Michigan's railroad network.
