@Adriatic posted:No, I know those two; Silver "something" Express (Silver lake/Silver Beach/Silver Streak?) on US-2 east of the dunes, west of Brevort rd, near the old couples bright red Alpine roofed restaurant (that lady could cook!) The "Toonerville" is at the Falls tours (nice little trip with the boat too). Before that even, with horse and buggy rides still popular in the towns, and gone by 1967-68, or I'd have seen it again. I barely remember a Fourth of July Parade, and watching long ships from the shady seat of an open rail car after it, eating ice cream and being glad I was behind an "iron horse", versus a stinky, live one, on such a hot muggy day. I passed out from exhaustion on a blanket by the water before the fireworks that year
Could be any port from Green Bay to Traverse then north really, but memory tells me it was in the Keweenaw.
The only tourist train in the Keweenaw was Clint Jones's Keweenaw Central. I wouldn't consider it as a tourist trap though, he ran an ex-Copper Range 2-8-0 and had a nice operation. It closed in 1972 when the host railroad (Copper Range) abandoned. Clint now runs the Mineral Range, serving the nickel mine concentrator near Ishpeming.
