The Coopersville and Marne Railway (Michigan) is being memorialized by putting a 1912 Baldwin steam locomotive downtown after a cosmetic restoration, on the tracks through the middle of town (off I 96, between Grand Rapids and Muskegon) thank you George!


As you can see from the Google Street view, there are quite a few cool train cars, the locomotive before the restoration (below), a coal car, a couple diesels, a switching tower (or signal tower?) a caboose, a train station ticket booth, and a crane!



The Friends of Coopersville and Marne Railway operate a vintage diesel train between the City of Coopersville and the Village of Marne, following 7 miles of track originally built in 1858
