Debbie,
That was the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railroad
and was being built in the 1860's and 1870's. Will
get back with you later re: area it traveled through
the county. Do you have John Martin Smith's books?
He has quite a bit about this railroad.
Talk again

Hi,
I just found out that my great grandfather, Robert
William McNabb,
worked for the New York Central Lines Railroad, when
he was 18. This is
what it says on the badge he wore on his cap.
Station Baggage Agent
L.S. & M.S. R.W.
New York Central Lines
Service Date- 1884
I was told the initials stand for Lake Shore &
Michigan Southern. I do
not know what the R.W. stands for, unless it's rail
way.
Did this line run through Garrett or Butler? As far
as I know he only
lived in the DeKalb- Allen County area.
I would appreciate any help anyone could give about
this railway line.
Is there a place to write for records of employees?
Would anyone at the
railroad museum in Garrett, know about this? Thank
you for any help you
can offer.
Yours in Christ,
Debbie
