HOLLAND, MI (WHTC) – The problem of 23 “rehabilitated” commuter railroad cars, owned by Great Lakes Central Railroad and leased to the Michigan Department of Transportation, that are sitting idle in an Owosso train yard may soon be solved.
The two entities are close to an agreement that would lift the lease for up to five years, giving the railroad the opportunity to loan them out to other agencies during that span, but resuming the lease when M-DOT completes expected southeast Michigan rail expansion in 2019.
