Does anyone know what classes of steam locomotives, were used for freight and passenger operations on the Jackson Branch? I am especially interested in the era from 1925, to the end of steam operations in the mid 1950s. This line ran from Lenawee Junction, to Jackson, Michigan. Moreover, passenger service lasted until the mid-to-late 1930s, and some of the train coaches continued on west to Grand Rapids, via the Grand Rapids Branch on through service.

Yours truly,
