The Bay City and East Saginaw Railroad is a defunct railroad which operated in central Michigan before being bought by the Flint and Pere Marquette Railroad (F&PM). The company was chartered on April 8, 1864, and on November 1, 1867, completed a 13-mile (21 km) railway line from East Saginaw, Michigan to Bay City. In 1868 the F&PM leased the line; in 1872 it bought the company outright.
Famous quotes containing the words city, east and/or railroad:
“San Francisco is where gay fantasies come true, and the problem the city presents is whether, after all, we wanted these particular dreams to be fulfilled—or would we have preferred others? Did we know what price these dreams would exact? Did we anticipate the ways in which, vivid and continuous, they would unsuit us for the business of daily life? Or should our notion of daily life itself be transformed?”
—Edmund White (b. 1940)
“Next to the originator of a good sentence is the first quoter of it. Many will read the book before one thinks of quoting a passage. As soon as he has done this, that line will be quoted east and west.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Though the railroad and the telegraph have been established on the shores of Maine, the Indian still looks out from her interior mountains over all these to the sea.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
