Flint and Holly Railroad

The Flint and Holly Railroad (F&H) is a defunct railroad which operated in eastern Michigan from 1863 to 1868. It was founded by Henry H. Crapo, a Massachusetts-born lumber merchant who served as Governor of Michigan (1865–1869).cite web | url=http://lib.umflint.edu/archives/Crapo.html | title=HENRY HOWLAND CRAPO FAMILY PAPERS | work=University of Michigan-Flint: Frances Willson Thompson Library | accessdate=2007-12-29] The line was originally chartered as the Flint and Fentonville Railroad on January 3, 1863, but this was amended on October 16. [Michigan Railroad Commission (1896), xxiii.] On November 1, 1864, the F&H completed a railway line from Flint, Michigan to Holly. Via an agreement with the Detroit and Milwaukee Railway (D&M), F&H ran into Detroit's Brush Street Station over D&M tracks.

In 1868 the F&H was bought by the Flint and Pere Marquette Railroad (F&PM) and ceased to be an independent company. Henry Crapo's son, William Crapo, served an official of F&PM from 1868 until 1903.
