Operations
Operations typically run from May to October and December, usually operating between Clinton and Tecumseh. Special events include Clinton's Fall Festival in late September, color tours between Tecumseh and Raisin Center in October, and a "Santa train" in December.
The train typically includes a South Shore car, passenger gondola and caboose, powered by either a 44-ton diesel or the GMDH-3 diesel-hydraulic.
A train of motorcars is held in reserve and used on special occasions.
