Its name was derived from the three Michigan counties it operated in: Tuscola, Saginaw and Bay. In October 1982, the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) contracted the TSBY to operate the former Ann Arbor Railroad line from Osmer siding just north of Ann Arbor to Alma, Michigan. On October 1, 1984, MDOT cancelled its contract with the Michigan Northern Railway and the TSBY assumed operation as a 405-mile short-line freight railroad with the rest of the Ann Arbor Railroad mainline from Alma to Cadillac, former Grand Rapids and Indiana Railway (GR&I) trackage from Reed City to Petoskey (crossing in Cadillac, Michigan) and Walton to Traverse City and former Chesapeake and Ohio Railway from Grawn to Williamsburg (through Traverse City). The track from Cadillac to Comstock Park and Chesaning to St. Charles were removed in 1991. On January 22, 1991, the TSBY sold its original lines to the Huron and Eastern Railway, now owned by Genesee & Wyoming. Today the GLC operates former Ann Arbor track from Ann Arbor to Cadillac, former PRR from Cadillac to Petoskey and Walton to Traverse City, former C&O from Grawn to Williamsburg, former NYC from Owosso to Fergus, and former Grand Trunk Western from Ashley to Middleton. The GLC also operates a small portion of the abandoned CSX (C&O) Ludington Subdivision in Clare, Michigan, to serve a local plastics factory. In March 2006, the Tuscola and Saginaw Bay Railway was purchased by Federated Railways, Inc. and has changed their name to Great Lakes Central Railroad as a class II regional railroad. GLC interchanges with Class I railroads Canadian National in Durand and CSX at Howell, and shortlines Huron and Eastern Railway in Durand and Owosso, the Mid-Michigan Railroad in Alma, Michigan and the Ann Arbor Railroad at Osmer. Great Lakes Central Railroad is the largest regional railroad in the state of Michigan covering {{convert|400|mi}} of track. External links{{commonscat}}{{Portal|Railways}}
