- Howell and Lansing Rail Road
The Howell and Lansing Rail Road is a defunct railroad which proposed to construct a railway line between Howell and Lansing in central Michigan. The company incorporated on June 23, 1868 and began grading along the convert|33|mi|km|adj=on length of the line. The H&L had some difficulty obtaining financing; by the time it merged with the Detroit and Howell on March 29, 1870, no track had been laid. The two companies merged formed the Detroit, Howell and Lansing, and the H&L ceased to exist as an independent company. [Meints (1992), 88; Ivey (1919), 250; Michigan Legislature (1870), 79-80.]
