Reeds Lake, East Grand Rapids, MI., was a favorite summer-time destination. In 1872 the Reeds Lake and Grand Rapids Railway was established and used horse powered trams. A 10-ton steam engine , powerful enough to pull three open train cars all the way to Reeds Lake, was introduced in 1877.
The first train, pulled by the locomotive 'Muskegon', arrived in Grand Rapids on January 1, 1870. Regular service commenced a few weeks later on January 17. Shortly after the line's creation on August 15, 1870, it was perpetually leased by the Michigan Central Railroad as a branch for their system.
