Passenger Trains > Train 371 on the Kalamazoo River BridgeDate: 06/12/19 04:37 Train 371 on the Kalamazoo River Bridge Author: rhburn3 Beautiful morning about 30 minutes ago in West Michigan. The train is 10 miles south of Holland, MI. This is first time I have seen it with Amfleet cars in a long long time.

I worked this train briefly in the 80’s, PC1974... Was one of my favorites — much lower key than the Detroit jobs! And, I love TO’s still for the “encyclopedic” RR knowledge that people like you share here— thanks for the profile info of this obscure spot!

Great shot!
