The c<br>Charlotte Southern Railroad will begin operating a dinner train on 3.25 miles of GTW railroad in the spring of 2000. This railroad is a division of the Adrain and Blissfield Railroad and operates freight business on as needed basis for a grain elevator. All trains are powered bye a 44 ton GE and operate in the Charlotte MI area.<br>Feel free to e@mail me with questions.<p>Dan Moore (Charlotte Southern Railroad) <br> jdmoore@voyager.com |

Is this the same dinner train that used to be advertised in "Trains" magazine during last summer/fall? I have a friend who lives in Charlotte and went to the address in the magazine ad and never could find any evidence of a dinner train.<br> davelecount@juno.com |

Yes dave this is the same dinner train that was advertised but the start date got pushed back because of of permates required by the city for sewer water and parking that is all cleared up and we are awating the grading of the parking lot as soon as that done regalur service will commence. We have had 2 test runs loading at a diffrent point that went well and the train has been on the property for sometime. Yes firtz it is the old Michigan Centrel,New York Centrel, PennCentrel,Conrail and GTW line.<br> jdmoore@voyager.com |

Dan, are you cooperating with restauranteurs/caterers to provide dinner services? What rolling-stock are you using<br>for the train? Please visit the Trinity Valley RR website! hiplain@flash.net |
