Location: Glen Arbor, MI

The mill was the southern terminus of a two mile long narrow gauge railway that ran up to the shipping dock at Glen Haven, on Lake Michigan just west of Glen Arbor. The mill and dock served to provide wood, as fuel, for the early steamers passing through the Manitou Passage. The mill, railway, and town of Glen Haven was later purchased by D.H. Day, a prominent local figure until his death in 1928, and is currently part of Sleeping Bear National Park. Incidentally, the railroad ROW is still clearly seen on Google Maps.

The railway's locomotive, the D.B. Harrington, survives in Port Huron, MI, having originally served on Port Huron and Northwestern Railroad. Here's an interesting history on the locomotive. Click Here.
