At the Huckleberry Railroad in Crossroads Village near Flint, trains run on a three-foot gauge, 4.5 mile line to the village of Genessee, Michigan. There are
loops on both ends of the line which trains runs around. On the day we were there trains were powered by ex-Denver & Rio Grande Western 2-8-2 N0. 464,
a model K27, also known as a "mudhen". This is the train at the main station just before departure.
