Steam & Excursion > Huckleberry RR RailFan Days 2015Date: 08/02/15 12:26 Huckleberry RR RailFan Days 2015 Author: ngfan Saturday attended the Hucks's RailFan Day at Flint, MI. RR ran a photographers extra at 10:00 with two locations and 4 run-bys at each. First was the largest trestle on the RR and the other was at east reversing loop switch. A good crowd was on hand to ride the special.

That's not unusual on smaller locomotives. Date: 08/03/15 07:04 Re: Huckleberry RR RailFan Days 2015 Author: Frisco1522 It amazes me to see that nice little mike and those cars up north. Sweet looking equipment. Sounds like a little rod brass attention wouldn't hurt.
