Niles depot takes part in nationwide event celebrating trains

From the South Bend Tribune

As the eastbound Amtrak Wolverine line train pulled into the Niles depot to dozens of excited onlookers, Jack Kessler sat back a ways.

He wasn’t there to board the train — only to snap a few pictures of it. Not surprisingly, Kessler was one of dozens who took part Saturday in the third annual National Train Day at the Niles train depot. Niles was one of more than 100 stations nationwide taking part in the celebration. Dowagiac, New Buffalo, St. Joseph and Fernwood Botanical Gardens and Nature Preserve also had events locally.

National Train Day in Michiana

From WNDU TV

Sunday may be Mother’s Day, but Saturday was also a holiday of sorts; it was Amtrak’s National Train Day, and there were celebrations and events all over the country.

On “16 Saturday Morning,” News Center 16 chatted with actor Taye Diggs about his involvement in National Train Day and the event he is hosting in Washington D.C.

In Niles, folks headed to the historic Michigan Central Railroad Station – the site of many film and movie shoots over the years.

National Train Day is geared to celebrate the impact of the train on our country, communities and the mode of transportation it provides.

The event is celebrated at stations and museums all over, even where you might not think.

Local event organizer J.R. Valderaz says, “It’s being celebrated all across the country including in states where Amtrak service is not there. They’re doing this in Hawaii and Alaska too.”

Other train celebrations are taking place in Holland, St. Joe, Dowagiac, Jackson, and Detroit.

Amtrak beefs up rail service to New Buffalo

From the Chicago Sun-Times

In other Amtrak news, starting today, passengers on the Wolverine Service to Pontiac, Mich., and the Blue Water to Port Huron can now travel directly to New Buffalo, Mich., for a day at the beach.

A new schedule allows day trips to “Harbor Country” on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan. Six daily trains will begin stopping at New Buffalo, rather than the current four daily stops. The New Buffalo station, which opened last fall, is in sight of the public beach.

Fares from Chicago range from $9 to $22, and children 2-15 are half-fare with an adult.
