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

That’s a neat little story.
Very interesting article;I enjoyed reading it.[:)]
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!).
