Grand Traverse Dinner Train - a photo on Flickriver

For most of the 1990s and into the early 2000s, a private company operated the Grand Traverse Dinner Train out of Traverse City, MI. They had an agreement to run on the Tuscola & Saginaw Bay RR tracks (now Great Lakes Central) in the area, including parts of the former Pere Marquette line to Petoskey and the old Pennsylvania RR TC branch. Power was a pair of former Great Northern EMD F7As and a set of vintage passenger cars, including a twin-unit articulated ex Southern Pacific Daylight dinner. Unfortunately the train never made much money and ceased running around 2004. When I shot it here at the Traverse City depot in 2005, the equipment was for sale. The F7s are now owned by the Wisconsin Great Northern RR and are painted in Wabash colors. I'm not sure what became of the cars.
