Notes

Fostoria was at the end of the Pere Marquette branch line which ran from northern Flint northeast through Otter Lake to on to Fostoria. The right of way of this branch line later became the right of way for the Genesee County Parks and Recreation Huckleberry Railroad, though not all of the way to Fostoria.
