The Manistique and Lake Superior Railroad M&LS was an United States American Class III railroad serving the Upper Peninsula of Michigan from 1909 to 1968. It provided service from Manistique, Michigan to a junction with the Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic Railway at Doty, Michigan , southeast of Munising, Michigan . Its nickname was The Haywire . Image Ann Arbor Railroad and Steamship Lines 1911 timetable.jpg thumb The Ann Arbor used a train ferry car ferry such as the one pictured on this 1911 timetable to serve Manistique and the M&LS. The M&LS was chartered in 1909 to penetrate what was then a booming lumber and pulpwood region of the central Upper Peninsula. Almost from the start, it served as an affiliate of the Ann Arbor Railroad 1895 1976 Ann Arbor Railroad and was connected with the larger railroad s northwestern terminus at Elberta, Michigan , by Ann Arbor Railroad train ferry car ferry . The Elberta Manistique run was one of the longest regularly scheduled railroad car ferry runs operated in North America. After the old growth timber of the central U.P. had been harvested, the transportation needs of the local area served by the Manistique & Lake Superior declined. While the cold, swampy region continued to yield pulpwood, the construction of M 94 Michigan highway M 94 generally parallel to the M&LS right of way railroad right of way further reduced the need for the little railroad. By the 1960s, the Manistique & Lake Superior had been reduced to only one working locomotive . The railroad and its car ferry ceased operations in July 1968. References Hugh A.

Orphan date February 2009 Claude Casper Poulan 1915 1995 of Monroe, Louisiana was the founder of Poulan Chain Saws and the inventor of bow guide . In 1944, Poulan was supervising German prisoners cutting pulpwood in East Texas. At the time this task required three men, two to operate the chainsaw , and a third to operate a pry pole, utilized to keep the chain from binding as it cut through the trees. Poulan utilized an old truck fender and fashioned it into a curved piece utilized to guide the chain. The bow guide now allowed the chainsaw to be utilized by a single operator and quickly revolutionized the booming, post war wood cutting industry. In 1946 Poulan Chain Saws was established in Shreveport, Louisiana where it produced chainsaws utilizing existing engines purchased from other manufacturers. In 1951, Poulan began production of its own internally developed and manufactured chainsaws.
