The Railroad Historical Society of NW Michigan is celebrating its 40th Anniversary with a get-together at The Filling Station Microbrewery in Traverse City.

Anyone interested in railroad history is invited to join us at this May 14 event which will feature pizza at 4:00 followed by a showing of a video about Hawaii's "The Sugar Cane Train" at 5:00. The video will be shown in the former Pere Marquette Railroad freight depot just west of the Filling Station's main building (the former Pere Marquette passenger depot). There will also be a small display of historical railroad items.
