Hamburg Festival and Railroad Days

1225All Aboard! The Pere Marquette 1225 is heading for the Hamburg Festival & Railroad Days in Hamburg between Howell and Ann Arbor on Saturday, September 12th.
Smell the coal and feel the thunder as the 1225 steam locomotive heads to Osmer on the Great Lakes Central Railroad for these family fun excursions. The Steam Railroading Institute of Owosso and the Hamburg Historical Society are excited to offer one hour excursions with departure times at 10 am, 1 pm and 3 pm.
“The presence of a vintage steam engine will best capture Hamburg’s history as a passenger railroad destination,” said Suzanne Hines, president of the Hamburg Historical Society.
“We’re happy to collaborate with another like-minded organization that focuses its efforts on preserving history. It’s important for our organization and members to align our talents with good people like the Hamburg Historical Society,” said TJ Gaffney, executive director of the Steam Railoading Institute.
When the 1225 rolls into town make sure to have your ticket because seating is limited for only $25 per seat. For ticketing information visit www.michigansteamtrain.com.
