Southern Michigan Railroad Society

It has preserved 13.5 miles (21.7 km) of track and a variety of railroad equipment including the only GMDH-3 locomotive ever built and the last GE 44 tonner.

They held monthly gatherings in Tecumseh, Clinton, and Adrian, Michigan, and starting in June 1981 they published a newsletter, "The Cross Tracks".

In 1982 when it was learned that Conrail would abandon their Clinton Secondary Track[1] they founded the nonprofit Southern Michigan Railroad Society, a volunteer membership organization, "to back an attempt by local citizens to purchase and preserve the former New York Central Railroad's Clinton Branch rail line.

The Society was able to obtain other motorcars, and for several years operated a successful passenger service while they gathered funds to truck in full-size equipment.

In October, "Fall Color Tours" traditionally used the longer 6.5-mile (10.5 km) segment to Raisin Center, although in 2014 and 2015 they were run between Clinton and Tecumseh instead.

Special events include Clinton's Fall Festival in late September, color tours between Tecumseh and Raisin Center in October, and a "Santa train" in December.
