Layout Description

The Michigan Shoreline is a freelance Class 1 railroad running along the coast of Michigan. The railroad consists of two divisions extending from the main yard at Middle Fork. Two additional yards at the end of each division are terminating locations for all trains. There are numerous towns along both divisions with long mainline runs. Plenty of local switching and over the road passenger trains. The era is set as the steam/diesel transition period with trains powered by either steam locos or diesels.
