The Grand Rapids, Newaygo and Lake Shore Railroad is a defunct railroad which operated in the state of Michigan between 1872 and 1881. The GRN&LS was chartered on September 11, 1869, under the leadership of David P. Clay. [Goss (1906), 628.] The company operated a convert|46|mi|km|adj=on line between Grand Rapids and White Cloud (where it joined the Chicago & Michigan Lake Shore). The initial segment, from Grand Rapids to Sparta, was completed on May 19, 1872. The line reached Newaygo on September 11, 1872; the first passenger train between the two towns ran the same today, to much fanfare from the local populace. [Chapman Brothers (1884), 527-528.] On September 24, 1875 the line was extended over the Muskegon River to White Cloud. [Michigan Railroad Commission (1881), 212.] On September 30, 1881, it consolidated with other companies to form the Chicago & West Michigan. During its twelve years of independent existence the company sustained a net loss of $36,554.28. [Ivey (1919), 242-243.]
