The Grand Rapids, Lansing and Detroit Railroad is a defunct, nineteenth century railroad, formerly operating in Michigan. Incorporated May 17, 1887,[1] it built a 53-mile line from Grand Rapids, Michigan to Grand Ledge, as well as the Ramona Branch, both of which it leased to the Detroit, Lansing and Northern Railroad.[2] The former still exists as part of the Canadian National Railway line into Grand Rapids, Michigan.
