Durand MI May 14 2016

Is anyone going to Durand on May 14th to railfan? Its the railroad days festival as well. I will most likely be there in the Afternoon.

I'm allergic to foam. Causes difficulty breathing, hives, skin rash, erratic behavior, unusual excitement, heart problems, clots, difficulty sleeping.

There's a train show at the middle school Sunday afternoon, in case you're interested in breaking up the mid-day lull in the action...but if you're committed to Saturday, it won't help. Just be aware that Durand closes some of the streets in town for the festivities, which can make getting to the station more difficult.

Ya gotta know the territory.

That doesn't help if it's your first or second time in town. Heck, I've made the trek to Durand several times and still get a little turned around sometimes. Of course, it's probably a lot easier after you've lived there for a while.

Easiest way I've found is I-75 north to the Dort Hwy exit, then left at the first traffic signal (Newburg-Grand Blanc Rd). Head west until you run into the tracks, and then follow the signs to the depot. My daughter and I spent all night 'fanning DUS this past Saturday evening until Sunday morning sunrise - now I see when CN gets busy, when it's dark.

If you are coming from the East on Newburg road. Can i still get to the Station without any problems?
