Viewing Album:  HUCKLEBERRY RAILROAD, FLINT MICH 2006-2009
 
By:Gregory Garbacz
Dates:6/17/2006 - 11/27/2009
Album Info:GENESEE COUNTY PARKS & RECS COMMISION OWNS THIS RAILROAD AND IT IS OPERATED USING PUBLIC FUNDING WITH A SMALL ADMISSION PRICES. I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT THIS PARK AND RAILROAD AND THE PEOPLE WHO WORK THERE. TICKETS ARE AVAILABLE BY PHONE AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ANYONE VISITING SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN TO SPEND A DAY AT THIS PARK NO MATTER THE SEASON THERE IS ALWAYS LOTS TO SEE AND DO. I HAVE INCLUDED A FEW NON-RAILROAD PHOTOS TO ILLUSTRATE THE EXCELLENCE OF THIS SITE.
