Our volunteers have worked hard over the last few weeks to put a new coat of paint on our open air gondola! New lettering to match out logo style and historically accurate markings have been applied. This refresh will definitely make this car stand out on our trains and show off the Southern Michigan Railroad name! Now who’s ready to go for a ride?

The amazing students at Trenton High School have restored one of our speeders! This 1976 Fairmont A8C received a new cab floor, new lights, a tune up, and of course the flashy safety yellow paint job! Absolutely great work by these students, led by one of our volunteers, to bring this piece of equipment back to life. The speeder will be used by our maintenance crews to transport track materials on the line and perform inspections of our railroad right of way. The enclosed cab and heater will give our crews a MUCH more comfortable experience in the cold months.
