In June, 2022 Trains Magazine there are a couple very nice articles about MI's Mineral Range (by William Beecher, Jr.) and West Michigan Railroad Co. (by Brian Buchanan). The WM article has quotes from our own Mike H.

Looking forward to it...but nothing tops the October 1987 issue!

Wow I remember that 10/87 issue. I saw it at Meijer in the magazine section and I purchased it. The title of the article itself was Michigan Metamorphosis.
Nice to see Michigan railroads getting their props.

I also have that magazine, back when Trains was at their peak. Sad to say that some of those RR's are no longer around,or have been cut back, while other newer railroads have stepped in. Miss the D&M most of all, especially the yard/shop area in Tawas City. To me, it was a beautiful, interesting area,and the people were always helpful and pleasant to deal with. I know Lake State is doing great, but that yard area was a flawless place to explore. We will not ever see places like that again. Of course, all those Alco's really set it apart. I deeply miss that place.
