Fernwood and Northport Railway

Fernwood and Northport Railway was a streetcar and freight line operating in Michigan in the early 20th century. It connected the communities of Fernwood and Northport, facilitating passenger travel and local commerce. The railway served as an important regional link, supporting daily commuting and goods transportation before the rise of automobiles and buses led to its decline. Its operation reflected the broader trend of streetcar systems that once formed the backbone of urban and suburban transit in America. Today, it remains a part of local historical interest, illustrating early transportation infrastructure in Michigan.
