Considerable new face built; rail has been renewed at different point along the line. The surface and alignment of tack is fair.

Important improvement have been made in the city of Ann Arbor that have resulted in the separation of the grades at several streets. The passenger train service and equipment are ample for the requirements of the traffic. Bridge structures have received thorough repairs. Interlocking devices at the different railroad crossing fairly well maintained. Motive power and equipment in fair condition and as required by law. Highway crossing fairly well maintained.
