The logo of the Manistique Marquette and Northern, [shown on right] a precurser of the M&LS, illustrates that it was both a railroad and a car ferry line.  Though it was developed by the MM&N, it was also used by the Manistique & Northern and later by the M&LS, according to their listings in the Official Railway Equipment Register.  This was used briefly and then dropped.  It was the only known logo used by the M&LS in its entire history.

The 'Manistique & Northwestern Ry. Co.' [shown above] was taken from a rubber stamp marking on a 1898 map filed with the Michigan Railroad Commissioners for a route change.
