(page 58) Based on the 1907 Sanborn maps on Manistique, I incorrectly located the Chicago Lumber Company and the Wesson Lumber Company. The Chicago Lumber Company should be on the east side of the Manistique River and the Wesson Lumber Company should be on the west side. |

An alternative roster I received from Henry Burger on August 10, 2007. It had been prepared by Stanley Allen. There appear to be some discrepancies between the roster published in the book and the one presented by Mr. Allen. I will leave it to the reader to deal with the discrepancies. Stanley Allen Roster |

Bob Warrick has informed the author that M&LS Russell snowplow #10 was returned to the Ann Arbor after the M&LS shut down. It was then “donated” to the Cadillac and Lake City (C&LS) and became their #10. The plow did see limited service on the C&LS being pushed by a C&LC steamer. After the C&LC shut down, the plow was sent to the Thumb area and subsequently was damaged in a fire. No later information is available. |
