The Huckleberry Railroad runs on a 4.5 mile 3-foot gauge line in Crossroads Village near Flint, Michigan. This is an ex-Pere Marquette Branch, their line ends near the village of Genessee. There are loops on both ends of the line on which trains turn around. On July 22, 2009 the trains were powered by ex-Denver & Rio Grande Western 2-8-2 No. 464, a class K-27, also known as a "mudhen". The 464 was built by Baldwin in 1903.
