Despite the prediction of rain, more than 65 volunteers showed up at the Michigan Flywheelers Museum this past weekend for the first Black River Railroad work weekend. The group was helping to lay track for the museum’s new railroad, which was once owned by the House of David. The rain held off, allowing workers to cleared brush, level the route, and lay 120 feet of ties and rail. Once completed, visitors will be able to ride the 1 1/4 mile route on a train powered by a steam locomotive.
