The book's pages reflect on the years (1963-1973) the Detroit, Toledo \u0026amp; Ironton controlled the Ann Arbor Railroad, which served shippers along a 292-mile mainline almost entirely in Michigan (the AA operated several miles in northern Ohio); the demise of the AA's Lake Michigan car ferries; the new carriers that have sprung up to handle operations on the former Ann Arbor line in the wake of the company's bankruptcy in 1973; the disposition of the fleet of ten new GP35s that were delivered to the Ann Arbor \"direct from the factory\" in 1964; and the \"new\" Ann Arbor, a shortline operating between Ann Arbor, Michigan, and Toledo, Ohio, that was created out of the remains of the old \"Annie.\" The final chapter highlights the 22-mile Betsie Valley Trail between Elberta-Frankfort and Thompsonville, a \"rails-to-trails\" corridor that opened in 2005 along an abandoned segment of the historic Ann Arbor Railroad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 9.1 x 6.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 22, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53682090377523,"sku":"9781634992978","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/wBMfYDfbWA9781634992978.webp?v=1784471913","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/traces-of-the-ann-arbor-railroad-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
