Huckleberry Railroad

The Huckleberry Railroad is a narrow gauge heritage railroad located in Flint, Michigan, just north of Flint.

The railroad received its name due to its slowness; it was said a person could jump off the train, pick huckleberries, and re-board the train as it traveled without difficulty.[1]
