This poped up in my email today and I thought I would share it with the forum.

Enjoy!

Great to hear about those shortlines.

Glad to hear the right-of-way is still intact and up and running.

Not entirely accurate--there's still some of the ex-GTW line operating (as another shortline) east out of Grand Rapids.

I was a ticketed passenger on a freight train over the entire Durand-Muskegon route in 1969 or 1970 (on assignment from the newspaper I worked for at the time). This past summer I was on the Muskegon-Grand Rapids portion of the line again--only I was on my bicycle and the rails have been replaced with blacktop (I want to do it again when it isn't raining!).
