Manistee and North-Eastern Railroad

The Manistee and North-Eastern Railroad (reporting mark M&NE)[1] was a short, standard-gauge line in the U.S. state of Michigan.

Organized in 1887, it served several counties in the northwestern quarter of Michigan's Lower Peninsula in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

[2] The M & NE was originally built to help exploit the old-growth timber resources of its service area.

The railroad also attempted to develop a sideline as a hauler of potatoes, orchard fruit, and grain.

[2] The Manistee and North-Eastern was consolidated into the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway in 1955.
