Crossing Butternut Creek
On a cold morning in January of 2019, the Huckleberry Railroad's pretty 10-wheeler #152 rumbles across the trestle over Butternut Creek, headed west back toward Crossroads Village, hauling a short excursion train. If the trestle pictured doesn't look particularly old, that's because is was placed in service in 2013, about 6 years prior to the date of this photo, replacing an older structure.
This image was captured during a January 2019 photo shoot on Michigan's Huckleberry Railroad, which is located at Crossroads Village, just north of the City of Flint. The railroad has a pair of steam locomotives, including US 152, depicted here, and the former Denver & Rio Grande Western K-27 #464, although typically, only one of them will be serviceable at any given time. The railroad alternates them in service on 15-year cycles. This particular photo shoot was able to feature both, as it happened during a transition period when both were in service.
