History
Grand Trunk Western was made up of several smaller railroads in Michigan including the following: - Chicago and Grand Trunk Railway
- Chicago, Detroit & Grand Trunk Junction
- Michigan Air-Line Railway
- Detroit, Grand Haven and Milwaukee Railway
- Toledo, Saginaw and Muskegon
- Detroit & Huron
- Detroit & Pontiac
- Peninsular Railroad Company
- Pontiac, Oxford & Northern Railroad
In 1880 the Chicago and Grand Trunk Railway was crated by Canada's Grand Trunk Railway System, GTR, to build a line linking Canada to Chicago across lower Michigan. GTR, predecessor to the Canadian National Railway, CNR, wanted to avoid the expensive cost of using Cornelius Vanderbilt's Michigan Central Railroad as a way into Chicago. The route eventually became the Grand Trunk Western Railway which was amalgamated into the Canadian National Railway in 1923. On May 9, 1928 Canadian National consolidated all of its rail lines in Michigan, Illinois and Indiana and formed the Grand Trunk Western Railroad, a separate company owned by CNR that operated its routes in the United States. The Michigan Air-Line Railroad was a planned railroad across southern Michigan, connecting the Canada Southern Railway to Chicago, Illinois. ...

However, in 1971 GTW broke tradition and began receiving its new locomotives in its now famous bright blue, red/orange and white scheme. At the same time the railroad would also adopt its company slogan; The Good Track Road.
