Sunnyside at Genesee Trestle
Pouring out a frosty, white exhaust plume, the former Denver & Rio Grande Western K-27 "Mudhen" #464 hauls an excursion train east off the little trestle on the outskirts of Genesee Township during a January 2019 photo shoot on Michigan's Huckleberry Railroad.
The little bridge pictured here crosses a small bay on the northern shore of C.S. Mott Lake, a 3.5 mile long, man-made lake created in 1972 to provide recreational opportunities in the region, just northeast of the City of Flint, MI. The narrow gauge, Huckleberry Railroad essentially runs along the north shore of the lake from the Crossroads Village on the west end, to the E. A. Cummings Center just east of the town of Genesee. The railroad has turning loops at either end, and operates a lot like a gigantic model train set. When the train leaves Crossroads Station, it never needs to stop at any place until it arrives back where it started....and unlike many tourist lines, the power is always facing forward.
