Two passes. A clergyman's half-fare pass for 1874 and a pictorial free pass for 1876 issued to NH Hotchkiss (Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad). The 1876 pass has glue and paper residue on the reverse. This was the successor road to the Detroit and Pontiac Railroad, one of the first railroads organized in Michigan. The Great Western Railway took financial control of the D&M in 1860 after it defaulted on debt payments. The D&M entered receivership in 1875; in 1878 Great Western purchased it outright and refinanced the debts. The reorganized company bore the name Detroit, Grand Haven & Milwaukee Railway.
