Grand Rapids, Grand Haven and Muskegon Railway

The Grand Rapids, Grand Haven and Muskegon Railway was an electric interurban railway that operated in west Michigan from 1902 until 1928.
==Early history==
The line was built and operated by Westinghouse, Church, Kerr & Company, who organized the company with local promoters.〔Street Railway Journal 1902 p. 9〕 The Westinghouse group was a subsidiary of the Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company. In addition to the GRGH&M, Westinghouse, Church Kerr and Co. owned the Lackawanna and Wyoming Valley Railroad and was building that line at the same time.〔Henwood & Muncie 2005 p. 67.〕
The GRGH&M operated on private right of way between Grand Rapids and Muskegon Heights, MI. In the cities of Grand Rapids and Muskegon, the line used the tracks of the local street railway systems. A branch line ran from Grand Haven Junction, just east of Fruitport, MI to Grand Haven, where the line had its port connection. Between cities, cars took electricity from a third rail; in towns and cities, power was received through overhead wires.〔Hilton & Due 1960 p. 289.〕
Although the main purpose of the GRGH&M was carrying passengers and express packages between the major and minor cities on its route, a boat connection between Grand Haven and Chicago was a key feature. The Chicago connection allowed the line build a significant business bringing passengers to West Michigan resorts and fresh produce to Chicago markets.〔Chicago Electric Railfan's Association 1959 p. IV-27〕
