Does anyone know when passenger service officially ended on the Ypsilanti Branch? This line was built around 1870, and was intact until late 1961, when the section between Bridgewater and Brooklyn, Michigan was abandoned. However, other small segments still exist to this day in Hillsdale, and Saline.
I have a Michigan Central Railroad Time Table, dated April 26, 1931, which shows the Ypsilanti Branch, but does not list any passenger train service for this line. However, the nearby Jackson Branch that ran from Lenawee Junction to Jackson, does show three passenger trains each day.
Sincerely,
Ron
