Railroadfan.com 2024 Meet - Durand - Sept 22nd
Hello hello all. Talked with the admin of the Facebook Michigan Railfans (SD80MAC) and we're planning a railfan get together for the combined groups in Durand Michigan on Sunday September 22nd.
As usual, this is a free event; come and go as you please. Any Michigan railfans and families are welcome. We'll meet at the depot in Durand and hope to see whomever is going to come on out.
Street address: 200 South Railroad Street, Durand, MI 48429
No official starting time or end. I plan to arrive morning hours, leave sometime after dinner. Feel free to carpool and use this thread to arrange rides.
Photo of the group from the last Durand meet in 2023. Looking forward to see you all there!

I mean.. it kinda isn’t all about trains. It’s about meeting people and catching up. That’s how I viewed the 2023 meet.

Maybe... depends on what people want to do since my Birthday is that following Thursday so I'm sure family will have my attention.

According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.

I've been checking the site about once a month or so, to see if there's a meet this year... I'll plan to get there just in time for the mid-afternoon lull, around 2 or so again this year and look forward to seeing anyone who's still there.
9/21 update - it doesn't look like I'll be able to make it tomorrow after all. I hope everyone who does make it has a great time.
