Re: St. John's MI interurban question
Back in the 80's, there was a 4 volume series written called "When Eastern Michigan Road the Rails". Volume 3 covers some of the Detroit-Jackson-Battle Creek-Kzoo interurban line(s), and I believe the line to Lansing is also included in the revised edition...this may or may not say something about the extension from Lansing to St. John...I personally haven't read any of them, but researching Amazon and E-bay it appears that all 4 volumes are available in used form for purchase....The main crux of these books seem to center around the Detroit United Rail, the largest interurban system in Michigan back in the day...Good luck in your research.
