Fallen shortlines: revived names Posted by Larry Lewis Jr on June 27, 2009, 4:31 pm 71.13.81.X Once my Leelanau County Railway is up and running someday, i have decided to have freight cars decorated for my favorite fallen shortlines. Some of which never probaly had any freight cars or were gone years before i was born in 1963.Shortlines i will have freight cars decorated for are Michigan Northern, Cadillac & Lake city, Boyne City, Detroit, Caro & Sandusky, Manistee and Northeastern, and Leelanau Transit Company.  Post a Response

The BCRR may have had cars lettered for them, most likely not in revenue service. The Leelanau Transit Company was a holding company that leased the line to the M&NE.  Post a Response

The M&NE had boxcars, flat cars, cabooses and passenger cars lettered for it (I sell decals for the boxcars in several scales). I've had some fun in the past using existing decal sets to paint up equipment for modern versions of fallen roads. One of my favorites is shown below (with apologies for the lousy photo quality- I set this up and shot it in a hurry before going to work this morning). -fm  Post a Response
