In the beginning, the railroad ran five days a week, weekends off.
Due to the political reality that Gov. Milliken's home town was Traverse City, the state also leased the Traverse City branch. Very little business. I would run a one car train on the weekend so the two train crews could have their weekends off. There was a once a month move of soybean meal in a N&W covered hopper to the Farmers Co-op. It was noteworthy when we had a three car train.
