MessageWe are excited to visit Mt. Pleasant this October and are looking forward to riding the Ghost Train. Your train is the reason we chose to stay in Mt. Pleasant instead of another Iowa city. We recently traveled aboard the Amtrak Empire Builder from Portland, OR to St. Paul, MN and that trip just fueled our love of trains. We've traveled aboard the Yukon & White Pass Railway from Skagway, Alaska to Fraser, B.C. In April we just missed the opportunity to travel aboard the Skunk Train through the redwoods in Ft. Bragg, CA. We will be celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary aboard your train this Fall. Can't wait to see you then!! smilie

MessageI have a silver bird claw sugar tong with initials MCRR on the side. I googled those letters and found your web site. I was wondering if these were used 100 years ago on your train? Just curious if you have any info. I'm putting values on things I've inherited from my father and trying to figure out what everything is. Thank You!

++++++++++++

For those interested in the above question...

The present day MCRR started in the late 1950's as a project of the Midwest Old Threshers group. This "MCRR" is an extremely short-line railroad, often referred to as a tourist railroad or museum railroad.

While we'd like to lay claim to the sugar tong, I did some investigations and found information about the "Michigan Central Railroad" which was incorporated in 1846 and later became part of the Penn Central Railroad. Most likely, your sugar tong was part of this company.

Details of the Michigan Central can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michigan_Central_Railroad and http://www.michiganrailroads.com/RRHX/Railroads/MichiganCentral/MichiganCentralHomePage.htm
