About
The Southern Michigan Railroad Society(SMRS)is based in Clinton Michigan and offers train excursions between Clinton, Tecumseh, and Raisin Center. The Railroad normally operates between May and October.
History
The Southern Michigan Railroad Society(SMRS) was founded in 1982 in a effort to save Conrail's "Clinton Branch". In 1985 the SMRS purchased the line and set to work fixing it up and running motor car trips. 1987 brought about the groups first engine and passenger equipment in the form of two cabooses. Former Western Maryland GE 44 tonner #75 arrived in 1996. Former Detroit and Mackinac GE 44 tonner #10 joined in the Fall of 2012, and its the newest addition to the Southern Michigan Railroad fleet. Today the SMRS offers quality train excursions though the Lenawee County countryside.
Excursions
Summer runs are normally a 1-1/2 hour ride between Clinton and Tecumseh. In the fall a shuttle service is operated between the two towns during the Clinton Fall Festival and the Tecumseh Applumkin Festival. During October the railroad offers popular "Fall Color Tours" from Tecumseh south to Raisin Center. Several Holiday train ofter run in November and December also.
Equipment
The train usually consists of the GE 44 tonner #75, South Shore Car #1, the NYC gondola, and either the bay window or the cupola caboose.
