New Road To Take Us To Mackinac
NEW ROAD TO TAKE US TO MACKINAC
TO BE BUILT BY WABASH VIA OWOSSO AND SAGINAW
If some railroad plans of the Wabash, which owns the Ann Arbor railroad, are carried out Ann Arbor citizens may soon go to Mackinaw direct by rail from here. The Wabash road recently acquired the Detroit & Mackinac railway, running from Saginaw to Mackinaw. This road as yet has no direct connection with the Wabash system. A corps of engineers have been busy for a week getting the shortest line between Saginaw and Owosso on the Ann Arbor road, with a view of extending the Detroit & Mackinac road from Saginaw to Owosso, a distance of about 35 miles. It would run through a country which bids fair to be the best sugar beet district in the state. Ann Arbor furnishes many passengers for Mackinaw every summer. This would give our citizens direct rail connection.
