New Track on the White Creek Railroad?

We visited the White Creek Railroad in Michigan on November 25, 2023. Since it is still hunting season in Michigan much of the railroad is closed. We were able to run around Mirror Lake and down the Reed Lake branch. Along the way we cross the new trestle near Summit. We also see where the track has been moved slightly neat Waterton. Mirror lake has a thin layer of ice as the temperature was right at freezing. Thomas the Tank followers us part way and runs around our train at the Mirror lake station. At Hillside on our way back we encounter a red signal. On further investigation the release button at Hillside is frozen. Not shown I free the frozen button and we return to the engine house. Many thanks to the White Creek Railroad for allowing us the use of Grand Trunk 4245 and train.

@@steamlogger it’s much better in my opinion and also seems to have relieved some grade there!

Found your website. Looks like we are one state south. (College football teams set aside when it comes to trains! 🙂)

This web page has a listing of tracks. discoverlivesteam.com/A-clubs.htm There might be a tack close to you. No time for football there are trains to run. LOL Thanks for watching.

What locomotive are you running and about how long can you run it for if full?

[@steamlogger]

This is one of the White Creek Railroad engines. Several of these geeps were built at the railroad. It can run over 15 miles with the onboard batteries.

What does it cost per 100ft of track to build? Or any cost per distance measurement you have, thanks

[@steamlogger]

A few years back it was about $5.00 per foot.
