Amtrak’s Pere Marquette train arrives in Fennville, Mich. to unload passengers riding from Holland, Mich. as part of the Goose Festival’s “train ride” event Oct. 9, 2005. About 90 passengers rode the train from Bangor, Mich. to Fennville on Friday, Oct. 7, 2005 and another set of nearly 90 passengers rode the train from Holland to Fennville on Sunday, Oct. 9, 2005. Tickets were $7, including shuttle bus back to starting station. What a deal! Both train rides sold out. This is the only time that Amtrak’s Pere Marquette stops in Fennville all year. Fennville was a regular stop for Chesapeake & Ohio’s Pere Marquette passenger trains back in the day. (Photo by J.R. Valderas)
