A Ride on The Huckleberry Railroad 7/10/21

Its a rather nice summers day out in Flint, Michigan and because of this, I visited Crossroads Village & Huckleberry Railroad. I've been here several times before but each time never gets old really. The last time I was here was in 2012 (One of the first videos on my channel was from the visit: • Rio Grande #464 at the... ) but I returned with proper filming and photography equipment to get some proper shots of the 3ft. narrow gauge railroad in action. On that Saturday, Huckleberry Railroad/Alaska Railroad/US Army 152, a 1920-built 4-6-0, led the train as DRGW 464 is still down for an overhaul. Here's my footage from the about 40 minute long ride around the about 4 mile (6.4 km) loop of track on the former Pere Marquette Railway. There's a bit of history and music to be heard on the train's speaker system so enjoy the ride as much as I did!

[@14thStreetProductions]

It's been years since I was last there, but it was behind the k-27 464

[@Sleeper____1472]

50 seconds after the video posted? Thats my record!

[@Sleeper____1472]

By that I meant start watching it.

[@SantaFe19484]

Nice video! Why does that one crossing need two layers of gates?

[@bridgediscovery1011]

Didn't people used to pick huckleberries of the bushes while the train was moving??

[@FruitPunchMan15]

I swear I was there not too long ago. It’s a great place to go.

[@MichiganRailfanner]

It is it’s my favorite place 152 just got done with an overhaul now 464 on the other hand It just got pulled out of service so 464 won’t run until 464 overhaul is done probably take like eight years probably kinda sad honestly

[@MichiganRailfanner]

But 152 has always been my fav

[@csxrailfan02]

Any offride footage?

[@loganwright7554]

What’s that locomotive that just sits there on the side of the tracks?

[@ximiea3778]

#4 is a oil burning engine that needs a new boiler and is too expensive to fix
