With the Largest Railroading event coming to Owosso next summer, site preparation is in full swing. Nearly 1000ft of additional track, several new switches, realigning existing track and constructing a 3000ft miniature railroad is moving forward. Most of the major track work, grading and leveling of the property will be finished by the first part of November. Over the winter, new track panels will be constructed for the miniature railroad to be laid in the spring. Additional property improvements are scheduled over the next few months. If you are interested in helping out and volunteering your time please contact the Steam Railroading Institute at 989-725-9464.
