Railroad History and Saginaw's Castle Museum

I had an enjoyable visit at the Castle Museum in Saginaw this weekend and talked at length with Bill Falkenberg, a railroad enthusiast and volunteer at the museum. The visit led to further research on railroads in Michigan and a very informative online map at http://www.michiganrailroads.com/RRHX/Evolution/1880s/Lower1888.htm.  It was interesting to think about how our history is interwoven with the development of the railroads in our state.
