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
