Alanson & Petoskey Railroad

Incorporated Jul. 31, 1990, to operate the former Michigan Northern (Penn Central: GR&I) line between Alanson and Conway.

Apparently it was a tourist only railroad, and it didn't last very long.  Rolling stock was purchased by the Buckley Railroad

They traded the  SW1, apparently  to Clint Jones, who is now running on the Mineral Range RR in Marquette

This equipment may have been also operated by the Little Traverse Scenic Railroad on  the state-owned tracks between

Bay View and Alanson as a tourist line
