The 1980s were a difficult time for the Ann Arbor Railroad. The railroad was facing competition from trucks and other railroads, and it was struggling to make ends meet. In 1983, the railroad was sold to a group of investors, who renamed it the Ann Arbor Railroad System. The new owners made a number of changes to the railroad, including investing in new locomotives and cars. These changes helped the railroad to improve its financial performance, and it began to turn a profit.
The 1990s were a time of growth and expansion for the Ann Arbor Railroad. The railroad acquired new lines and new businesses, and it began to operate passenger trains for the first time in its history. In 1998, the railroad was sold to the Great Lakes Central Railroad, which merged it into its own system. The Ann Arbor Railroad System continued to operate as a subsidiary of the Great Lakes Central Railroad until 2002, when it was sold to the Genesee & Wyoming Railroad.
