Saginaw and Clare County Railroad

The Saginaw and Clare County Railroad was a wholly owned subsidiary of the Flint and Pere Marquette Railroad (F&PM). It was chartered on September 4, 1877, to construct a branch line to Lake George, Michigan.[1] On September 30, 1880, the company completed a 15.5-mile (24.9 km) branch line from Harrison Junction (between Farwell and Clare along the main line) to Harrison. The line did not serve Lake George.[2][3] In 1883 this line was extended north to Meredith (in Franklin Township), for a total length of 29.91 miles (48.14 km).[4] The Saginaw & Clare County was consolidated with the F&PM on January 30, 1889.[5]
