Removing Signs |
| Description: |
Amtrak, MDOT and MARP officials look on as the Amtrak station signs at the "now closed" Amtrak station for Amtrak's Pere Marquette are removed following the opening of the new Amtrak station in New Buffalo. To let everyone know, these signs were saved. I convinced the Amtrak officials to donate the signs to the New Buffalo Railroad Museum (located in background of image in the old wooden depot next to the Chessie System box car). Amtrak had no use for the signs and would of scrapped them. A piece of railroad history is now saved! |

Third Official Train Arrives |
| Description: |
Amtrak Wolverine train 354 arrives to the new Amtrak station in New Buffalo, marking the third official passenger train to stop and pick-up passengers on this line in more than 50 years. For train 354, this is its second official stop at the new station. On Oct. 21, the train made its first (unofficial) stop at the new station to disembark passengers. The passengers were those of Amtrak's Pere Marquette (since its train equipment arrived late into Chicago). They were bussed to their destinations north of New Buffalo following 354's departure from the new station. |
