The Ann Arbor Railroad , historically, was an
American railroad that operated between
Toledo, Ohio, and
Elberta and
Frankfort, Michigan, (approximately 294 route miles) with
carferry operations across
Lake Michigan. The Ann Arbor ceased operations as a railroad on
April 1,
1976, but various operations have continued use of the name to the present. As of 2007, Ann Arbor Acquisition Corp. operates between Toledo and
Ann Arbor, Michigan, while Great Lakes Central Railroad Inc. operates the remainder from Ann Arbor to
Yuma, Michigan. Some sections have been abandoned: from Yuma to Elberta and Frankfort (approximately 45 miles), about 10 miles in
Shiawassee County, Michigan (in 3 discontinuous sections), and the trackage around the now-demolished Cherry Street Station in Toledo.
