Our Coopersville & Marne Railway train features century old coaches pulled by a 1950’s era locomotive. As the train travels to Marne and back it will be following a route first outlined in an 1848 charter for the Oakland and Ottawa Railroad. The first trains traveled this route in 1858. Today you can travel a portion of that route while enjoying the Easter Bunny’s shenanigans.
